A 24-year-old woman who fell to her death last weekend has now been identified. She was Cameron Perrelli who was trying to climb between rooftops at around 3:30 a.m. on May 22. Perrelli was reportedly not a resident of either building.

The 24-year-old, described as a true angel who wanted to be and do the best she could in everything, was trying to climb between 200 and 202 Avenue A at that time when she fell. No criminal angle has been found as a result of the accident.

“Sad day today I lost a piece of my heart my beautiful niece was taken by god to heaven she was so beautiful in mind body and soul,” Cameron’s uncle posted on Facebook. “It is so hard to understand gods reason for taking Cameron she had so much to offer the world.”

The family of Cameron is left in grieving after the unfortunate incident. Another uncle wrote that they lost a true angel.

“I am lost without you in my life,” he wrote. “You’ve always made me proud of your accomplishments, RIP my princess!! I will miss you more than you know!!”

Tied to the incident is the fact that there has been a rise of weekly gatherings on East Village rooftops that are held beyond the suggested safety occupancy rates. As a result of the latest incident city elected official Carlina Rivera is working on two bills tied to the issue, ABC 7 reported.

“This tragedy shows just how dangerous overcrowded or mismanaged rooftop parties have become, and how often they have little to no safety protections or monitoring,” Rivera stated.

Also coming under fire are landlords of the buildings. They are expected to ensure the safety of all their occupants and outdoor spaces. City officials believe they are not living up to that responsibility.

“The tragic death of a woman who fell from a roof during a party in the East Village on Saturday is a painful reminder that City Hall and property managers are failing to step up when it comes to rooftop parties,” Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer said.
