4-year-old girl survives mother's suicide fall in HK

The young girl was hurled by her 41-year-old mother from the mall's seventh floor on Sunday afternoon, but landed in a net below and suffered no serious injuries, police said.

However, the mother crashed through the net — intended to prevent rubbish falling on pedestrians below — and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Media reports said horrified onlookers screamed as the girl — suspended four storeys above the ground — began climbing near the hole left by her mother's fall.
