An American woman has d!ed after falling to her death off the 29th floor of a hotel in Hong Kong
The tragic incident came just one day after a 16-year-old girl plunged to her de.ath from a cliff swing in China.
The woman, only identified as a 69-year-old American citizen, plunged to her de.ath shortly after 9am on Monday, according to the South China Morning Post.
The woman fell soon after going to the pool deck of the Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island, a boutique hotel.
She reportedly suffered from depression and had stopped taking her medication in March, a police source told the South China Morning Post.
The woman was in Hong Kong with her husband, who had left the hotel to go to a doctor’s appointment just one hour before her de.ath.
A 74-year-old local woman was struck and taken to a nearby hospital where she remained in intensive care.
The impact caused several glass panels near the hotel lobby’s entrance to shatter, injuring six others, including the hospitalized woman’s 77-year-old sister.
The sisters’ 89-year-old friend, who is also an American tourist, sustained injuries as well.
Among the others who sustained injuries from the glass shards were a boy, 10 and his 40-year-old mother from mainland China.
A 41-year-old woman and her eight-year-old son were also injured.
Officials did not immediately release the identities of the woman who died or those who were injured.
The Hong Kong Police Force and Hotel Indigo did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
