The girl, 14, was found in the building’s courtyard around 5:00 a.m. and declared dead at the scene, a medic for the Magen David Adom ambulance service said in a statement to the media.
It was not immediately clear how the girl managed to fall from the Steinberg Street building or when she fell.
A family member told the Ynet news site she may have tried to open a window during the night to let in cool air.
