A woman attending an event at a hotel went over a railing on a spiral staircase, resulting in a three-story fatal fall to the basement. Eyewitness testimony was inconsistent regarding whether her initial location was at the very top of the staircase or several steps down. ESi needed to evaluate the physical evidence of the geometry of the staircase, the railings, and her final location to determine what fall scenarios could be consistent with the laws of physics.
