Does anyone else have these kind of problems? I told her to MAKE SURE that the damn door was locked. It's her own fault.

MIAMI (Reuters) - Miami police were trying to determine Wednesday if a woman whose body was found near a 20-story apartment building tumbled to her death from a balcony or fell out of an airplane.

It would not be the first time a body had fallen from an aircraft in Miami.

On May 23, 1996, a teen-age boy found the body of a man who apparently fell from the wheel well of an aircraft about to land at Miami International Airport. Police concluded the man, whose body was smudged with airplane grease, was a stowaway.

On Tuesday morning, residents of the Miami apartment building heard a loud bang and found the dead woman on a wall outside, police said.

They initially thought she might have jumped or fallen from a balcony, but could not find anyone who knew her.

"When detectives checked all the places she could have fallen from, they found she had not fallen from the building," Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss said. "They believe the victim possibly fell from a passing airplane."

She died of massive injuries, police said. The woman, in her late 30s or early 40s, carried no identification. Police said they were trying to learn her identity through fingerprints.
