Durban: A 64-year-old woman died on Wednesday morning after she allegedly jumped from the 6th floor of the Cabana Beach hotel in Umhlanga.
According to the Durban Police Search and Rescue, the woman – who was not a guest at the hotel – arrived and parked her car before making her way to the sixth floor.
The woman landed on the ledge of the first floor in a confined space. She died after a few minutes before the ambulance arrived.
Police Search and Rescue said that investigations are still under way and the hotel is still functioning normally, with only the scene of incident being closed.
A hotel guest, who did not want to be named, said that they were not sure what happened, but no one was allowed near the scene.
