New evidence is coming to light in the case of the 44-year-old man who fell from the 24th floor of the Apollo Tower in Abelokipi this afternoon.
According to reports, the man was expecting his second child, as his wife is due to give birth any day now. The reasons for his suicide remain unknown at this time.
The incident occurred shortly before 1:30 p.m., when the 44-year-old was reportedly sitting in a 24th-floor cafe, drinking his coffee, receiving a phone call, and shortly afterwards got up, walked up to the table, went through the glass door and fell through the window and into the void.
The fall caused a intense noise, with many people initially thinking it was an explosion or gunshot.
“We heard a bang, we thought it was an explosion”
A shop owner located a few metres from the scene of the tragedy noted that “we heard a huge bang and we were scared, we thought there was an explosion. We went outside and unfortunately we saw the man.”
Police officers rushed to the scene and cordoned off the street, as well as ambulance rescuers who merely confirmed the man’s death. The 44-year-old fell, under circumstances under investigation, from the 24th floor.
This is the second incident to take place at the same spot in the Apollo Tower, at the Deos restaurant. An ambulance from ECAB and police forces had rushed to the scene, collecting evidence to establish the exact circumstances of the tragic incident.
