Suicidal jumper’s fall kills girl (5) in South Korea

South Korean police say a suicidal man jumping to his death killed a five-year-old girl by falling on her as she walked with her parents outside an apartment building.

A police official said the 39-year-old man died after he jumped from the 11th floor of the building in the southeastern port city of Busan on Wednesday. The girl died later from brain damage and broken bones.

Police said it was unclear why the man jumped. Witnesses saw the man jumping but there was no suicide note.

South Korea has one of the world's highest suicide rates.
