A pedestrian was killed when a woman falling from the 27th floor of a Hong Kong high-rise block landed on top of her, police said Wednesday.
Cleaner Chan Kwai-mui, 51, was walking home from work when she was hit by the heavily-built 74-year-old woman, identified only by her surname Lam, who apparently slipped and fell while fetching clothes from a drying rack outside her flat.
Both women were found dead in a heap by a security guard at the foot of the apartment block in the city's Ma On Shan district on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Chan, a part-time police station cleaner, was the mother of two grown-up children. Her builder husband died three years ago in a construction site accident.
