A 14-year-old girl died after falling from the eighth floor of a secondary school building in George Town, Penang, yesterday.

Timur Laut district police chief Abdul Rozak Muhammad said police received a report on the incident at 5.47pm from a medical officer at Hospital Penang.

“The case has been classified as sudden death, and a sudden death report has been opened for further investigation.”
