A 19-year-old student inΒ china has fallen to his death from a roof of a high-rise building after the wall suddenly collapsed under him.
The tragic incident occurred at a residential district inΒ Qinyang, Henan province on April 22 at about 1pm, according to local police.
In a horrifying video filmed by witnesses, the young man appeared to be making a phone call while standing dangerously on the edge of the 18-storey rooftop before the tiles came loose and caused him to lose his footing
InΒ the footage, another witness was heard calling emergency services and telling them a person is standing on the roof of the building opposite them.
He was a senior high school student at a local private school, according to Henan Television citing police.
The office also said that the student had an argument with his family before the accident, without giving further details.
One of the teachers told Beijing Youth Daily the student suffered from depression and was always absent from classes.
However, before he could give the emergency operator more details to send help, the student had fallen.
He was pronounced dead on scene by paramedics.
The young victim has been identified by his surname Yang and police are not treating the incident as criminal, the Qinyang public security bureau said in a statement on April 22.

While I was tempted to mention "china = put random shit in concrete to save money", this guy was clearly standing on what amounted to 3-6 bricks worth of foundation with his right leg. That facade wasn't designed for that weight. I bet the people filming are thinking "is our building as flimsy too?".
I'm always surprised at how loud people are when they smack into the earth. He only fell for 4-5 sec, so he wasn't even at terminal velocity (~12 sec of free-fall is needed to reach about about 200km/h (124mph)).
