Woman dies after falling from roof bar of posh hotel popular with David Beckham

A woman died after falling 70ft from the roof bar of a £255-a-night hotel - popular with celebrities including David and Victoria Beckham.

Emergency services were called to a sudden death at The Varsity Hotel in Cambridge at around 5.35pm on Bank Holiday Monday.

It later emerged the woman had fallen from the terrace which looks out over Cambridge and the University’s world-famous architecture.

It's not known if the woman was using the bar at the time of her death but police are not treating her death as suspicious.

A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "We were called at 5.35pm on May 27 with reports of a sudden death at The Varsity Hotel in Thompsons Lane, Cambridge, after a woman fell from the hotel roof.

"At this stage the death is not believed to be suspicious."

In 2016, a top City headhunter was found dead in the penthouse suite of the Varsity Hotel.

Daniel Barry Mortin, 27, was found lying on a bed by staff who were concerned that he had failed to check out.

His cause of death was recorded as hanging, an inquest heard.
