An investigation has been launched after a woman died after falling from the eight floor of Swallow Court flats in Whitehawk.
Residents heard police knocking on doors of neighbours’ flats at around 3.30am this morning.
The woman has not yet been named by police.
A police tent and cordon were put up and had been removed by 12pm. Flowers have been left at the entrance to the flats.
One neighbour said “I heard police and ambulance sirens at around 3.30am and people crying.
“When I woke up it had been plastered all over Facebook.”
A police spokesman said: “Police were called after a woman was reported to have fallen from a building in Albourne Close, Brighton, just after 1.30am on Monday July 25.
“Sadly, the 59-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin have been informed.
