The incident appears to have occurred at Bay Lake Tower according to Guest reports which began to circulate a few hours after the accident. One Guest received a call around 7:30 am that there was a medical emergency at the resort and not to go out onto the balcony.

Guests were not allowed to use the skybridge which connects Bay Lake Tower to the main building of the Contemporary. You can read the initial report in our first story.
