JOHOR BARU: A 7-year-old pupil died after he was believed to have fallen from the 10th floor of a People's Housing Project (PPR) in Tampoi here today.
The incident occurred around 5.30pm while the boy was riding his bicycle outside his home.
At the time, his mother was inside the house, while his father, who works as a lorry attendant, was away at work.
The boy's mother was informed of the incident by one of his friends. The victim was the second of four siblings.
A check at the scene found a police forensic team conducting investigations, including seizing the boy's bicycle for further examination.
The boy's body was sent to Hospital Sultanah Aminah here for a post-mortem.
