Fruitland man falls to his death.

A Fruitland man celebrating the marriage of a family member died after falling out of the third story window at the Best Western Inn and Suites in Farmington around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Darenell Jones, 25, was pushed into the window after re-enacting a move from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, police said.

Paramedics conducted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and took Jones to San Juan Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Jones fell about 20 feet to the sidewalk below, police said.

"It was horrifying for everybody," said Lenore Paulson, assistant general manager at Best Western. "It's been a quiet, sad and somber day around here."

Witnesses saw the incident from below and one gentleman was checking into the hotel at the time, Paulson said.

Jones and other family members were drinking in the hotel room rented by Jones' cousin, police said.

"There was definitely alcohol involved in the room," Paulson said.

The group was watching the

Ultimate Fighting Championship and horseplay began, police said.

The window broke when Jones was pushed into it during a fighting move and he fell to the sidewalk, police said.

It probably was a considerable amount of force because those windows are thick, Paulson said. The windows are one-quarter-inch thick and shatterproof.

The windows don't open and are pure glass, Paulson said.

No charges were filed and the case was forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for review.

"Our condolences go out to the family that was involved," Paulson said. "It's unfortunate that alcohol played a role in it."

Best Hotel You Can Go

Hotel group Marriott International announced Wednesday it was planning 21 new hotels in Asia, despite the impact of the global economic slowdown on travel and demand.

The company already has 37 hotels under construction across the region, meaning that it will have built 58 new hotels by 2013, creating an estimated 24,000 jobs.

"We are excited by these spectacular, architecturally interesting additions to our already dynamic Asia-Pacific pipeline especially since this growth is occurring in the context of the difficult global economy and tight credit markets," said Ed Fuller, president of international lodging.

"We see Asia as an exciting, dynamic market that we have continued to focus on since the start back in 1989."

The 58 hotels now under development will add more than 16,000 rooms to Marriott's Asia-Pacific portfolio, bringing the company's presence in the region to 154 hotels offering 51,500 rooms in 18 countries by the end of 2013.

The 21 newly announced hotels include two luxury JW Marriott hotels in China, 10 Marriott hotels in China, the Philippines and Thailand, two Renaissance Hotels in China and seven Courtyard hotels in Cambodia, China and India.

Marriott International entered the Asian market with the opening of Hong Kong's JW Marriott 20 years ago.
