A seven-year-old boy died after falling from the 10th floor of a People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Tampoi, Johor Bahru, at about 5.30pm on Friday.
The boy was reportedly riding his bicycle outside his home when the incident occurred.
His mother was inside the house at the time, while his father, who works as a lorry attendant, was away at work.
The victim, the second of four siblings, was reportedly found after his mother was alerted to the incident by one of his friends.
A police forensic team was seen at the scene conducting investigations, while the boy’s bicycle was taken for further examination.
His body was subsequently sent to Hospital Sultanah Aminah for a post-mortem.
The New Straits Times has contacted the police for comment.
