An 18-year-old college student lost his life after he reportedly fell from a height at a condominium in Setapak on National Day (Aug 31).
Speaking to China Press about the tragedy, a Nepali security guard said he had opened the gate leading to the swimming pool at the request of two residents at around 7am before patrolling other areas.
About an hour later, the same residents informed him that a body had been discovered lying in the courtyard on the sixth floor.
The security guard also said the victim’s head was covered in blood and showed no signs of life, making it a harrowing sight to witness.
