You all heard the story of how Eric Clapton's song fell out of a 53 story window. Thats when Eric Clapton wrote the song Tears In heaven. But what actually happened. I wasn't alive when this happened so i missed all the articles on it and everything so i don't actually know what happened. Anyone have any information please add it. Thanks

On March 20, 1991 at 11 a.m., four-and-a-half-year-old Conor Clapton died when he fell from a 53rd-story window in a New York City apartment. He landed on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. The housekeeper had just finished cleaning the window and left it open to air the room when Conor ran past him and fell out the 4-by-6 opening.

The housekeeper had just finished cleaning the window and left it open to air the room when Conor ran past him and fell out the 4-by-6 opening. By law, New York City apartments must have window guards installed on every window in all residential buildings with three or more tenants, but a 1984 ruling exempted condominiums from this regulation, placing the onus upon the owners of such units to install such safety devices. The apartment Del Santos and her son were staying in was a condo unit, thus the window Conor fell through lacked a guard.

He actually did fall out of a window at the age of five. For more reference you can go to Wikipedia.
