The Sharjah Police General Directorate is investigating the suicide of an Asian woman on Thursday evening after she fell off a residential tower in Al Khan area of Sharjah.
The Operations Room of the Sharjah Police General Directorate received a report at 9:15pm on Thursday, alerting that an Asian woman, 40, fell from the fourth floor of a residential tower in Al Khan area.
Instantly on receiving the report, police patrols, national ambulances and the forensic team rushed to the scene.
The woman died on the spot due to severe injuries.
The body was transferred to Kuwait Hospital.
The Buhairah Comprehensive Police Station launched the investigation into the incident after communicating with the woman's family.
The police will reveal the cause of the incident.
The authorities have completed the legal procedures to hand over the body to the family and issue a death certificate.
In April this year a Pakistani woman identified as S.A, 21, committed suicide by throwing herself from the balcony of her parents' house on the third floor in a residential building located in Muwailih area, Sharjah.
Immediately, police patrols, a team from the forensic department and the national ambulance rushed to the scene, the police spokesperson added.
At the scene, it was found that the woman died on the spot due to the critical wounds that she sustained.
The body was transferred to Al Qasimi Hospital in Sharjah, he added.
The preliminary investigations showed that the deceased who was residing in the Emirate of Sharjah with her family was in constant conflict with them because they were forcing her on marrying a Pakistani man above 70 years old.
She allegedly was refusing and trying to convince them to give up forcing her on that marriage.
But, when she knew her parents’ intention to send her to home country to complete that marriage, she jumped from the balcony and died immediately, when her head crashed to the ground, the police said.
