A 22-year-old Stockton State College student was killed early yesterday morning when she fell four-stories from an Atlantic City parking garage, police said.

Gina Durham, of Williamstown, had spent the evening with friends at a club at a sports bar called Game On located at The Pier Shops at Caesars, police said.

As Durham returned to her car, she became separated from her friends.

Caesars security was called at 1:49 a.m. and found Durham seriously injured at a ground level bus stop. An ambulance arrived minutes later and rushed her to AtlantiCare Regional Medical center. She did not survive, said Sgt Monica McMenamin, a spokeswoman for the Atlantic City police.

Investigators believe Durham accidentally fell from the fourth floor level of the garage and landed on the concrete sidewalk below. Foul play is not suspected and there is no indication that Durham would have wanted to hurt herself, McMenamin said.

The parking garage has solid surface walls in some areas of the garage and cables in other areas of the garage that serve as security barriers. Durham was last seen in the area that has cables as security barriers, McMenamin said.
