Original submission (one of six):

Two naked people dead after 4-story fall in downtown Columbia From Staff Reports

Two people died early this morning after they apparently fell off a four-story building across the street from Finlay Park, Columbia police say.

A taxi driver found a man and a woman in their early 20s - neither wearing any clothes - lying in the street in front of the building in the 900 block of Laurel Street, police spokeswoman, Sgt. Florence McCants said.

The victims were alive when rescue workers arrived at the scene, McCants said, and were taken to Palmetto Richland, where they were pronounced dead a short time later.

"It appears as if the two individuals were on the roof and could have accidentally fallen off the roof, onto the street," McCants said. There was no indication of foul play.

The two fell about 50 to 60 feet, McCants said.

Police found clothing for two people on the roof of the building at 900 Laurel Street, McCants said, and nothing else. She said police can only speculate at this point what they might have been doing on the roof.

(READER COMMENT - follow this story, I suspect that it will be determined that they were having sex on the roof and accidentally fell off while in some precarious sexual position)
