A night of underage drinking preceded the tragic death of Nicole John, the 17-year-old daughter of a US diplomat. 'Today' correspondent Peter Alexander examines the circumstances that led to Nicole's 25-story fall from a high rise apartment. "Nicole John was enrolled in New York's Parsons School for Design, but early Friday morning, after a night of partying, Nicole John's life was cut short when she fell to her death from this apartment building in midtown Manhattan," Alexander recounts.

"The body was found on the third floor ledge," NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly reports at a media conference. Nicole's night of partying began at a trendy Manhattan nightclub Tenjune, where she was reportedly caught on surveillance video providing a fake Brazilian driver's license. Blog entries Nicole made two weeks before her death serve as chilling insights into her risky behavior, "EPIC weekend. Intoxication for about 40 hours straight."
