Two tourists plunge to deaths at SAME airport hours apart in front of passengers

Two tourists have plunged to their deaths from a balcony at a Malaysian airport just hours apart. Horrified passengers saw a Chinese woman, aged 27, fall at Kuala Lumpur International before an Algerian man, aged 30, also died in two separate incidents which are not though to be related on Friday, said local police. The woman was seen sitting on a ledge before falling at around 2:20pm on May 1 – with local authorities saying she had been “crying and screaming aggressively” just before her death. Security personnel and Kuala Lumpur International staff had attempted to calm the woman. And then at around 9:10pm, a 30-year-old Algerian man jumped from the outer balcony area on the third floor of Terminal 2. KLIA police chief M Ravi said that a witness saw the man go past a safety barrier before tragically falling off a 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 reportedly said in a statement. When life is difficult, Samaritans are here – day or night, 365 days a year.
