Man falls to his death inside the Pacific Design Center

The witness, Sangeeta Varma, said, “We got a call started and a few of us ran over to see if we could help, but by the time I got there I noticed there was absolutely nothing anyone was going to be able to do to help.


“A man had fallen to this death, I would assume he either jumped or he was pushed from a very high level given the result of the impact. His shirt was pulled over his head and I don't even want to describe the rest.”
