PETALING JAYA:
A 21-year-old private university student fell to his death in Bandar Sunway early yesterday morning after causing a commotion at a hostel housing female students.

Subang Jaya district police chief Abd Khalid Othman said the cops were informed around 3.55am that the foreign male student from Monash University fell from the 16th floor of the Waterfront Residence managed by Sunway.

He added that the 15th to 22nd floors of the condominium were meant for female students.

CCTV footage found that the man was loitering around the 16th floor at 3.09am while “disturbing” residents by triggering the emergency alarm and knocking on the doors of several units.

“After a report was made over the disturbance, (the condominium’s) security went to the 16th floor and saw the man. The man then tried to flee before he apparently fell (from the 16th floor).

“Investigations are ongoing and preliminary checks found that the deceased’s cause of death did not involve any criminal elements,” he said in a statement.

Khalid added that the body of the deceased has been sent to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) for a post-mortem.
