KUALA LUMPUR: A 25-year-old man was found dead after falling from the 11th floor of the Beringin People's Housing Project (PPR) at Jalan Miri in Jinjang here last night.
Sentul district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zakaria said the deceased was believed to have been on a phone call with his girlfriend moments before the incident.
"Police received a call from the public at 7.39pm alerting authorities to the incident.
"Initial investigations at the scene revealed that the victim fell from the corridor in front of his unit on the 11th floor, where a plastic chair was also found," he said.
