2-yr-old boy and uncle fall to death from 14th floor in Malaysia

27 January 2014: David, 2, and his uncle Khen Hrang, 35, died after falling from an apartment on the 14th floor of the Taman Sungai Besi building in Kualua Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday.

The 2-year-old Chin boy fell to his death while attempting to reach one of his toys from the balcony, and his uncle died on the spot as he jumped to rescue his nephew.

It was around 10am in the morning that the incident took place while Hrang and David were visiting their relatives from their rented apartment on the 8th floor of the same building.

Hrang, brother of David’s father Van Thang, was looking after the boy while Thang was at work and his wife was going to a nearby market, according to local media reports.

A funeral service for both of the Chin victims is scheduled to be held today.#
