PHOENIX — Police identified Thursday an Arizona State University student who fell to his death over the weekend from a high-rise apartment balcony in Tempe.
The Tempe Police Department said 24-year-old Maxwell Chamberlain fell from the West Sixth apartment complex near Fifth Street and Ash Avenue about 3 a.m. Saturday.
Police do not suspect foul play.
“At this time, we don’t believe the fall was suspicious but rather an unfortunate accidental fall where impairment may have been a factor,” police spokeswoman Lily Duran said.
Tempe Police detective Gabe Gomez said Chamberlain’s body was found near the pool area on the seventh floor.
“[He] appeared to have fallen from the 15th or above floor,” Gomez said
KTAR News’ John Roller contributed to this report.

“At this time, we believe impairment may be a factor in it.”
Gomez said there is no evidence of foul play and at this time it appears to be a tragic accident.
Am I the only one seeing an apparent contradiction here?
If one decides to become inebriated or impaired by willingly forcing various substances into the body, it is ruled a tragic accident!?!
Sad, waste of a life...nonetheless.
Hah!
Your name just sunk in...excellent play on words!
He probably thought he was lucky today!
