IPOH: A Form Five student is believed to have plunged to his death from the roof of a shopping mall near his school here today.
Ipoh police chief ACP Sum Chang Keong said the victim, who was in his school uniform, fell together with his school bag about 12.30pm.
“The victim had supposedly left his house for school but he went to the shopping mall instead and climbed up the roof,” he said in a statement here today.
He said there were no bruises on the victim’s hands and body.
“There were no witnesses when the incident happened and we could not get much information from the school.
“His parents had separated but still kept in touch and according to them the victim had no problems,” he said.
Sum said the police were scrutinising the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage at the mall to help in their investigation.
