What is this house plant?

It has started to drop its leaves as in they bend over completely and die! I was told it's fine outdoors in the summer but must be brought in for the winter.
Thanks.

I’m guessing it is Zantedeschia a calla lily. They don’t like to be overwatered, and can go into dormancy in autumn, when the leaves will go yellow and die. Maybe that is what’s happening to your plant. Remember that all parts are poisonous! Try Googling care for it.

Guessing a bit here, but is it some kind of alocasia? They have form for going all dramatically droopy when the chillier weather starts.

Actually no I think Nan's right -- calla lily

Ah! A Cala Lily! Thanks all. I have been cutting off the dying stems so hopefully it will come back next year
