A man who jumped out from an apartment on the 35th floor to commit suicide in Shenzhen special economic zone, Guangdong province, last Thursday, inadvertently killed a passing bike rider.

Liu, a young man from Heilongjiang province and alleged drug addict, jumped from the building at about 4 pm, after standing for 12 hours on the balcony.

Li, a 52-year-old man from Hunan province who ran a fast food restaurant nearby, was delivering takeaways when Liu jumped on him.

Liu died immediately and Li later succumbed in hospital.
