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.
He said no criminal elements had been identified in the incident, and the police had recorded the babysitter’s statement to assist in the investigation.
According to preliminary investigations, the girl was with the babysitter as her mother was looking after another child undergoing quarantine at their home.
