A man from the Republic of Korea (RoK) has fallen to his death from Golden Palace, a high-rise apartment building located in Me Tri ward of Nam Tu Liem district in Hanoi, according to the municipal authorities. 

Local police from Nam Tu Liem district stated that the incident took place at approximately 0:30 a.m. on February 19 at the Golden Palace building.

Upon receiving the news, police forces rushed to the scene of the incident in order to further investigate the case. It is thought that the victim, a 30-year-old man from the RoK, wore black shorts and T-shirts before jumping from the high-rise apartment to his death.

Moving forward, medical workers are expected to arrive at the scene in order to carry out an analysis on the deceased victim.

This comes after another RoK national was found dead on February 17 at his apartment in Goldmark City in Bac Tu Liem district. The man was discovered dead by a security guard after his friends had failed to contact him and subsequently raised the alarm.

The lockdown order placed on his apartment was quickly lifted following his negative result after being tested for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The cause of death has since been reported as a stroke.

Earlier, the Hanoi Centre for Disease Control confirmed the death of  a Korean man also at Goldmark City in Hanoi and he tested negative for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
