17-Year Old Boy Falls to His Death in Mall
A leaked video has been circulated online purportedly showing the moments before a 17-year-old teenager fell to his death in an Orchard Road mall on Friday (24 Feb 2017).
The boy is believed to be Jonathan Chow Hua Guang.
Earlier eyewitness accounts described Jonathan "vaulting"over the railing of the fourth-storey link bridge to retrieve a phone that had fallen on what appeared to be a ledge, but was actually a decorative plasterboard casing.
The incident happened around 4pm on Friday. The non-load-bearing casing collapsed and Jonathan landed on the ground below.
Singapore Civil Defence Force officers took the teen to Tan Tock Seng Hospital but he died later in hospital.
"I am not even sure of what happened (on Friday)," said Jonathan's father at the morgue yesterday morning.
