Teenage girl dies after falling from 12th floor in Borella

The Borella Police have launched an investigation after a 16-year-old girl, a Grade 11 student of the Colombo Musaeus College, was found dead after falling from the 12th floor of a 24-story apartment complex in Borella.

The incident occurred last night (10), and the girl, a resident of Serpentine Road, Borella, succumbed to her injuries after being admitted to the National Hospital in Colombo in a critical condition.

Her mother revealed that the girl had been undergoing treatment for mental stress for some time.

However, investigations are ongoing to determine whether the girl had jumped from the balcony or if the fall was an accident.
