Twotourists have tragically died just hours apart at the same airport after falling to their deaths.
A Chinese woman, aged 27, and an Algerian man, aged 30, died yesterday at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia in unrelated cases, police said.
Shortly before her death, the Chinese woman was filmed sitting on a ledge as horrified bystanders looked on.
She was seen ‘crying and screaming aggressively’, prompting airport staff to attempt to calm her.
As one employee approached, she moved and fell into a loading bay area below at around 2pm local time.
The woman was rushed to Putrajaya Hospital for treatment but could not be saved and was pronounced dead three hours later.

Hours later, the Algerian man reportedly jumped from the outer balcony area on the third floor of Terminal 2 in what is being treated by police as a suspected suicide.
Beforehand, he was reportedly seen opening his backpack and then running towards a barrier and jumping over it at around 9pm local time.
Emergency services rushed him to Cyberjaya Hospital but he was pronounced dead just before 3am this morning.
Investigations into both deaths are ongoing, police say.
