A little girl died on Monday after falling from a fourth floor window in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Police said the 5-year-old girl fell from an apartment building located at 1371 Beacon Street at about 3:30 p.m.

Brookline Police Lieutenant Phillip Harrington said the child had been playing with some friends when the incident occurred.

"The child was actually in a different unit other than their own, playing with some friends," Harrington said. "There were adults in the unit and there were adults on scene."
