18-year-old falls to his death from three-storey building in Johannesburg

No foul play is suspected following the death of a young man in Northcliff last night.

An 18-year-old man died in the early hours of Sunday morning when he fell off a three-storey building in Northcliff.

Fairland police and the CPF were on the scene. No foul play nor suicide was suspected.

The identity of the man is known to Northcliff Melville Times but will not be made public at this stage out of respect for the family.

Fairland CPF chair Gulam Karim said, “He sadly succumbed to his wounds after a three-storey fall. It is a huge loss to the family, his friends and fellow learners. On behalf of Fairland police and the CPF, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family. May they be granted strength during this difficult time and our thoughts are with everyone who knew him.”
