The child was taken to a nearby hospital but passed away from injuries sustained in the fall.

A relative told FOX 5 that the girl was four years old and tumbled out of a 10th story bedroom window. Neighbors who witnessed the incident said the screen was on the ground next to the little girl after the fall.

In November, a 2-year-old fell from a sixth-floor window, and in August, a 3-year-old fell off a balcony from the same floor. Both children survived.
