KUALA LUMPUR: A seven-year-old girl has died after falling from the 29th floor of a babysitter's residence in a condominium in Puchong, Selangor, on Tuesday (May 20).
Subang Jaya deputy police chief Supt Mohd Fairus Jaafar said the police received a report on the incident at 12.30pm.
"The victim was found lying on her back on the fifth floor of the building and was confirmed dead by a medical officer," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
Mohd Fairus said initial investigations found that the girl was believed to have climbed out of a room window, which did not have any grilles upon inspection, before falling.
