PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a 3-year-old boy fell nine stories from a condominium balcony in the Florida Panhandle and later died.

Panama City Beach Police Department officials tell WJHG that the boy was visiting with his family from Midway, Ohio. The boy's identity wasn't immediately released.
