Friends and family of a Georgia woman who died last November after falling off a balcony during an adult slumber party in a backyard are demanding further investigation into the cause of death.
Tamla Horsford, a mother-of-five, died at a party in a home in Forsyth County, Georgia last November.
Her death became public knowledge last week after a court employee, Jose Barrera, accessed documents related to the case, according to WSB-TV.
Barrera was fired from his job for accessing the documents.
The party was held at the home of Barrera’s girlfriend.
At one point during the party, Barrera found Horsford lying face down in the backyard. She was unresponsive.

The coroner determined that Horsford suffered from multiple blunt force injuries caused by the fall. Horsford also suffered from ‘acute ethanol intoxication,’ the coroner said
‘She's lying in the yard, basically on the patio downstairs.. She's not moving one bit. She's not breathing,’ Barrera told 911.
‘I'm noticing a small cut on her right wrist. She's not breathing whatsoever. I don't know if this cut was self-inflicted.’
The death certificate issued by the coroner listed the death as an accident.

She noted that Horsford had suffered injuries all over her body, according to the medical examiner.
