Police drop murder investigation after woman fell to her death at Bristol tower block

The death of a woman who fell out of a tower block window almost a year ago is no longer being treated as suspicious. Twenty-five-year old Shannon Beirne died after falling from the 13th floor of Lansdowne Court in Easton in April last year.

Avon & Somerset police initially launched a murder investigation after she was found dead in the early hours of April 19. This was later dropped as police said there was no evidence of third party involvement.

A former suspect, a 43-year-old man, who was initially arrested on suspicion of her murder was also released without charge. An inquest into her death was opened on June 17, 2022, but there is still no date for a final hearing.
