A TWO-year-old boy has died after reportedly falling from the seventh floor of a public housing apartment in Precinct 9, Putrajaya, on Saturday.
Putrajaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Aidi Sham Mohamed said the authorities were alerted after a doctor at the Putrajaya Hospital’s emergency ward reported that a child had been brought in by his father, covered in blood.
“Further examination confirmed that the victim had passed away,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
“Preliminary investigations suggest the child fell from the seventh floor of a public housing unit in Precinct 9.”
A post-mortem is scheduled for Sunday to determine the exact cause of death.
