Locked-out student falls to his death in bid to enter condo

PETALING JAYA: A teenage student who was locked out of his room and attempted to enter his 14th floor condominium unit via the balcony, met with a tragic end when he lost his footing and plunged to his death.

It is learnt the student, from Sarawak, was staying at the Suria-mas Condominium in Sunway and had performed this stunt several times before when he accidentally left his keys inside.

However, his luck finally ran out around 9.40pm yesterday.

A police spokesman said initial investigation showed no foul play.

“We were told that the victim climbed on to the balcony and landed one foot on the room window, before he slipped,” he said.

He added that a friend of the victim had tried stopping him from pulling the dangerous stunt.

The victim’s body was sent to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for a post-mortem.
