A man who leapt to his death from his 11th story apartment window landed on a five-year-old South Korean girl, killing both of them, reports CNN.
The 38-year-old man, who, according to the Telegraph, was being treated for mental illness and depression, died upon impact. The girl was taken to the hospital but pronounced dead soon after her arrival.
The young girl, who was not identified, had left her apartment building with her parents. Neither her mother nor father were injured in the accident.
South Korea has the highest suicide rate among OECD countries, averaging about 50 suicides per day.
