BOGOR: A 4-year-old boy died after falling from the first floor of Jambu Dua Plaza shopping center in Bogor, West Java, on Thursday. 

Deputy security head at the shopping center, Tasno said the boy, Muhammad Zaky, plunged from the window of the first floor to the ground floor.

“He [Zaky] walked on the edge of the window then leaned up against the window glass. 

Apparently, the window was not locked,” said Tasno, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

“The boy [lost his balance and] fell to the canopy before hitting the floor,” he said.

Zaky’s father, Darwin, was not seen at the scene of the incident.

Zaky was rushed to nearby Salah Hospital, but he died on the way.

Djeffry Soeadi, a doctor at Salah Hospital, said Zaky suffered severe head injury. — JP
