Police in Rhode Island are investigating after a woman died and another person was injured when they fell down a staircase at a bar in Westerly.
WJAR reports authorities responded to a call Friday night of a person falling at the Hill Top Cafe. There, officers learned two women had fallen down concrete steps that led to the basement and liquor storage room. The pair were reportedly going outside to smoke a cigarette when they took the tumble.
