A Florida woman died attempting a gymnastics stunt from her hotel balcony, authorities said on Tuesday.

The officials said the 23-year-old woman was trying to do a handstand on the second-floor railing when she fell to the patio below.

The police report said that she first told a friend to watch "what I can still do."

Authorities said they did not think foul play was involved.
