Somewhere in China - Mar 13, 2014
Surveillance cameras have caught the shocking moment an under-pressure Chinese student jumped to his death during class.
The footage claims to show an emotionless boy suddenly leaving his desk, running over to a ledge and leaping out.
His actual jump occurs out of shot, and was not filmed by the camera.
But the devastated reaction of his fellow classmates, who sprint over to see what's happened before pacing up and down with their heads in their hands, appears to suggest he tried to commit suicide.
Details of the incident are currently scant. It's not clear exactly where in China, or at what school, it took place.
The clip was uploaded to LiveLeak Wednesday. "High school student Xiao Zhen leaps to his death from a window in the middle of class," the description says.
"It is believed this happened due to pressure of preparing for college entrance exams," it adds.
