Woman dies falling from block of flats

Police were called to to scene by the London Ambulance Service just before 7.30pm. It is believed that the woman fell from a communal outside walkway either on the fifth, sixth or seventh floor of the block, which has seven floors.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. A post mortem will be held at Greenwich mortuary on Wednesday.

Officers say that the death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.

The woman is white – possibly of Mediterranean appearance – and is approximately 20 years old. She has shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. She is 5ft 5ins tall and was wearing grey jogging bottoms and a pink vest top.

Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the description to contact police at Southwark on 020 7378 1212 and ask for the control room.
