KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — A United States citizen died after falling from the fourth floor of a condominium in Section 10 Wangsa Maju here yesterday.

Sentul police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan said the 24-year-old man suffered serious internal injuries and was still alive in the immediate aftermath of the 2.30pm incident but died at Gleneagles Hospital in Jalan Ampang here at 5pm yesterday. 

“His body was sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a post-mortem today,” he told Bernama in a SMS message.

He said the man is believed to have married a local a year ago and that he was operating a childcare centre in the suburban neighbourhood.

Police, however, declined to reveal his identity or further details and have classified the case as sudden death. — Bernama
