Authorities say a woman fell from a Brooklyn building to her death early this morning after getting into an argument with her boyfriend. 

Hannah Shaw, 29, had reportedly gotten into an dispute with 42-year-old Alex Douglas at Williamsburg bar Lucky Dog. Their dispute continued outside of the bar, as Douglas locked Shaw out of his apartment, where he and his friends had gathered. 

Shaw, who had been drinking all night, resorted to climbing a fire escape to access Douglas' window four stories up, only to discover that it was locked as well. That's when authorities suspect she lost her footing and fell to the concrete below. 

Police say Shaw was discovered unresponsive in front of the building around 4:40 a.m. No charges have been filed, but police will continue to investigate the matter.
