Authorities later entered the home and found his mother, who was in her late 50s, seriously injured.

She was also sent to hospital for emergency treatment but did not survive.

## Argument believed to have started over jacket

Taiwanese media reported that the argument may have been triggered by a jacket bought by the mother for Wang’s older brother.

[UDN](https://udn.com/news/story/7315/9535839?utm_source=chatgpt.com) reported that the item was a sun protection jacket worth about NT$200, which is around RM25.

**Wang allegedly became upset as he believed his mother was being biased for buying the jacket for his brother and not him.**

The report also claimed that Wang was unemployed at the time and had often argued with his mother over daily matters.

## Older brother reportedly tried to stop him

According to [Yahoo! Taiwan](https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E7%96%91%E5%9B%A01%E4%BB%B6%E5%A4%96%E5%A5%97%E9%87%80%E4%BA%BA%E5%80%AB%E6%82%B2%E5%8A%87-28%E6%AD%B2%E5%9F%BA%E9%9A%86%E7%94%B7%E6%8C%81%E5%88%80%E5%BC%92%E6%AF%8D%E5%BE%8C%E5%A2%9C%E6%A8%93%E4%BA%A1-010900678.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com), Wang’s older brother was at home when the argument escalated and allegedly tried to intervene.

However, the situation turned tragic before Wang later went to the rooftop area of the building, where he reportedly fell.

Local police are still investigating the exact sequence of events.

## Case handed to prosecutors

Police said the case will be referred to the Keelung District Prosecutors Office for further investigation.
