(Aug. 27) -- The teenage daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Thailand fell to her death from a 25th-story apartment in midtown Manhattan early this morning, authorities said.

Nicole John, the 17-year-old daughter of Ambassador Eric John, had taken off her shoes and climbed out on to a ledge at the Herald Square Towers, apparently to take a photograph, when she slipped and fell at about 4.15 a.m., The Associated Press reported. She landed on a third-floor ledge.

1. When I was 17, I did a lot of stupid things too, but for the grace of luck or God or whatever...

...I was fortunate to not have to pay with my life.

Sad story, nevertheless.

3. One of her texts that they broadcast:
"EPIC WEEKEND! Intoxicated for 40 hours!"

Good grief.
