KOTA KINABALU (Dec 14): A 53-year-old local man died on Saturday after he was believed to have fallen from a hotel building in Tanjung Aru.
Kota Kinabalu District Police Chief ACP Kasim Muda said police received an initial report regarding the incident at about 3.07pm.
“Following the report, a team of police officers was immediately dispatched to the location to carry out investigations,” he said in a statement.
According to Kasim, preliminary investigations revealed that a technician on duty had seen an object believed to be a person falling from the upper floors of the building through closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring.
“A subsequent inspection at the front of the building found a man lying unconscious on the road,” he said.
An ambulance team from Queen Elizabeth Hospital 2 that arrived at the scene later confirmed that the victim had died.
Kasim added that a review of CCTV footage showed the deceased had entered a unit on the 11th floor of the building prior to the incident.
“An initial physical examination by the forensic team found that the injuries sustained were consistent with a fall from a height, and no suspicious external injuries were found on the body,” he said.
