UTA Freshman Dies After Fall From Balcony

A 17-year-old nursing student at the University of Texas at Arlington has died of injuries from a three-story fall from an apartment balcony.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office says Ebony Warner of Austin died Friday afternoon at a Fort worth hospital of injuries from the Wednesday night fall.

Arlington police say Warner was attending a party at the off-campus apartment when she fell. Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard said there was no evidence of foul play.

A family statement to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says Warner had graduated a year early from Round Rock High School and was in her first semester at UTA.
