A man jumped to his death after having a furious row with his
girlfriend at a shopping mall in China.
According to Dailymail, Tao Hsiao, 38, had escorted his
girlfriend to a shopping mall in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, east
China. After five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded
to go home.
Eyewitnesses say he could be heard saying they already had
more bags than they could carry, but his girlfriend insisted on
going into one more shop where the was a special offer on
shoes.
An eyewitness said:
'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that
she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any
more. She started shouting at him accusing him of being a
skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated
argument.'
The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags
on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into
Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the
floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in
panic.
Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed
immediately from the impact of the fall.
A shopping spokesman said:
'His body was removed fairly quickly. 'He actually landed on
one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although
the store was damaged it meant he didn't hit anybody. This is
a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for
many people.'
