According to police reports, the victim, identified as Ms. C, and her 19-year-old Moroccan boyfriend, Mr. Z, had checked into a fourth-floor room just hours earlier. The couple later went to the rooftop swimming pool area, where Mr. Z and another male friend were smoking marijuana. Ms. C also consumed the drug and subsequently expressed suicidal thoughts during an argument with her boyfriend.

Mr. Z stated that Ms. C suddenly moved to the balcony and jumped before he could intervene. A security guard heard a loud crash in the parking area and discovered her body near the hotel’s perimeter fence. Police found no physical injuries or signs of struggle on Mr. Z during their initial examination.
