Natasha 'Tash' Lawton, 20, died at the scene after falling when a drainpipe she was attempting to climb broke at the Rosemont Hotel in Adelaide, Australia. The incident occurred early Sunday morning, shortly after 4 a.m., according to the Daily Mail.
Lawton was reportedly not a patron of the Rosemont Hotel and was passing by when she attempted to scale the drainpipe. She was a teacher's aide working with primary school-aged children with special needs while pursuing a teaching degree.
Friends and family have expressed shock, with one family friend describing her actions as "out of character" for the "very sensible person." Social media posts indicated Lawton had a passion for skiing and travel.
The Rosemont Hotel is a historic establishment located on Hindley Street, a well-known late-night entertainment area in Adelaide.
