DESTIN, Fla. – A person has reportedly fallen to their death from a balcony at a Destin condominium.

The Wharf 850 Niceville, Florida

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) said it is investigating the apparent fall, which reportedly happened early Tuesday morning.

According to the OCSO, an individual staying at a neighboring condo noticed a body on the ground near an entryway outside a building at 500 Gulf Shore Drive and called 9-1-1 around 4:08 a.m. for a welfare check.

The individual was deceased when the first responders arrived, the OCSO said.

OCSO investigators are working to verify additional information about what the agency describes as a “tragic spring break death.” The agency said it believes alcohol to be a factor.
