SHELTON, Wash. (AP) — The Mason County Sheriff’s office says a woman died Sunday after falling five stories in a Shelton casino atrium at a high school reunion.

Chief Deputy Dean Byrd told The Seattle Times that a preliminary investigation has ruled out foul play. The woman was attending Shelton High School’s 10-year reunion at Little Creek Casino when she fell over a fifth-floor railing at 11:14 a.m. Sunday. Byrd says she was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
