Elizabeth Ludwig of Milton died Sunday at Gwinnett Medical Center, where she was taken after the fall.

Police responded and found Ludwig lying on the ground, in pine straw below the balcony, Kelley said. She was transported to the hospital, where she died.

Kelley said the victim and her fiance were staying at the hotel for a wedding.

Kelley said the GBI has been called in to assist in the investigation into how the woman ended up falling from the balcony.

Kelley said he had "personally checked the balcony and the railing is very sturdy. It wasn’t from anything faulty."

Ludwig's body was taken to the state crime lab for an autopsy.
