A woman is dead after falling from the 13th floor of a West Palm Beach luxury condominium that is under construction Saturday. 

West Palm Beach police responded to the scene at La Clara Palm Beach at 1515 S. Flagler Drive around 9 a.m. about a worker that had fallen to her death.

According to the police, officers discovered the body of Yamileth Martinez-Ponce, 23, on the second floor landing.
