An Ohio man died after falling from the balcony of a South Carolina hotel last Friday.
Markell Hope, 34, of Akron, Ohio, was attempting to do a handstand on a 15th-floor balcony at the Patricia Grand Hotel in Myrtle Beach when he plummeted to the ground.
The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. ET, as Hurricane Ian moved north and flooded the area.
Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard told Fox News Digital in a release that Hope died of his injuries at the scene.
