A woman descending a flight of stairs in an upper Manhattan apartment building died in a freak accident Thursday evening — slipping out a window by the staircase and plunging to her death, cops said.

The tragedy happened at about 8:30 p.m. as the unidentified woman was on a staircase in an Inwood apartment building.

She somehow slipped between the sixth and fifth floors and tumbled out an open window.

First responders found her at the rear of the building and declared her dead.

I lived in a six floor apartment with casement windows and no screens! This was legit my worst fear. I had kids in that fucker for three months and all I could think of was Eric Claptons kid.

Fuck this whole story.
 
Sorry...I wouldn’t call it a freak accident. It was an accident waiting to happen.

The NYPD said the victim slipped, fell on the stairs and out an open window on the fifth floor. Police are calling it a freak accident.

NEW YORK (WCBS/CNN) - The fifth-floor window was covered over and equipped with a window guard Friday at an apartment building in the Inwood section of Manhattan.

Thursday night, 67-year-old Francisca Fernandez was found lifeless on the ground outside the building right below the window, having plunged five stories straight down.

"Boom, when I see from the window, I see the lady downstairs, I call police," Sonia Rodriguez said.

The NYPD said the victim slipped, fell on the stairs and out an open window on the fifth floor. Police are calling it a freak accident. Photos taken right after the woman fell show no protective guards in the fifth-floor window Thursday night.

"The victim was apparently visiting someone on the sixth floor when she was taking the stairs back to her son's apartment on the fifth floor and then fell out the window," a NYPD spokesperson said.

As police returned to the scene of the horrendous fall, the city's health department, responsible for window guards, stated, "If there were children under the age of 10 living in the building, there should have been guards on the windows."
