KLIA police chief M Ravi said the incident occurred at about 9.10pm, when a member of the public saw the man remove his backpack, run, jump over a safety barrier, and then leap from the ledge.

“A medical team that arrived at the scene provided emergency treatment, and the man was taken to Cyberjaya Hospital for further treatment.

“At about 2.55am today, the hospital confirmed that he had died,” Ravi said in a statement.

Police identified the man as a 30-year-old Algerian national based on the documents in his possession.

Ravi said the cause of the incident is still under investigation and the case has been classified as a sudden death.

The incident follows another case where a Chinese national fell from a ledge at KLIA Terminal 2 at about 2.20pm.

In the previous case, the 27-year-old woman was seen crying and “screaming aggressively” on the edge of the third-floor balcony.

Ravi had said that staff and security personnel attempted to calm her down but were unsuccessful.

He added that a KLIA security officer tried to approach and assist her, but she struggled and fell to the KLIA2 loading bay.

The woman was sent to Putrajaya Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
