CHINA For reasons unknown, a young woman chose to end her life by leaping from the roof of a residential building. She slipped away in silence, leaving no witnesses. Her body struck the pavement in a narrow alley, killing her instantly, only to be discovered later when a passing driver accidentally ran over it.
Authorities dispatched forensic specialists to rule out foul play. They documented the scene in detail, examined her body, searched her apartment, and studied the trajectory of her fall. Such analysis helps determine whether a person jumped willingly or was forced off the ledge.
In the end, investigators found no signs of homicide. The tragic case was officially classified as a suicide.
