Tot plunges to death from ninth-floor window

ST. PAUL, Minn.?? An 11-month-old girl died Tuesday night after falling from a ninth-floor window at a Minnesota apartment building.

St. Paul police spokesman John Keating said investigators were still trying to piece together what led up to the fall. It appeared to have been an accident, he added.

Keating said several people were inside the apartment when the girl fell. The toddler died at the hospital, authorities said.

A piece of torn window screen was visible from the apartment late Tuesday, according to the Star Tribune

One resident told the newspaper that he had spotted a boy sticking his head out of a screenless window at the 24-story Skyline Towers last month.
