A Chinese tourist in her 30s died after she reportedly fell from the ninth floor of a hotel along Jalan Haji Saman yesterday.
The woman, who was visiting Kota Kinabalu with her husband, was found unconscious after crashing onto a vehicle parked at the ground level of the building. Emergency responders were called to the scene at about 7am after police received a distress call.
Kota Kinabalu Deputy Police Chief Superintendent Syed Lot Syed Ab Rahman said initial investigations confirmed the victim had died at the scene. The body has since been sent to Queen Elizabeth I Hospital for further examination.
“The case is currently classified as a sudden death report (SDR),” he said, adding that investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances leading to the fall.
