Teen dies in fall from 12th floor yacht club stairwell on Pensacola Beach

A 19-year-old male died after falling from a 12th floor stairwell at a yacht club on Pensacola Beach, according to the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were called to the Sabine Yacht & Raquet Club on Ft. Pickens Road about 8 a.m. Friday. When they arrived, they learned a deceased male had been found at the back of the property by a maintenance worker, according to WEAR.

The sheriff’s office says it appears the teen had fallen from an open stairwell on the 12th floor, the top floor of the building. There were no signs of foul play.

The Escambia County Medical Examiner will conduct a death investigation.
