At around 9:30 a.m. on the 25th, a man in his 30s, identified as A, fell from the fifth floor of the Nongseong 2-dong Complex Government Building in Seo-gu, Gwangju.
A suffered fractures to his face and legs and was taken to a hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
The building from which A fell is the Nongseong 2-dong Complex Government Building, which Seo-gu opened this month. On the fifth floor, there is a rooftop garden that is open to anyone.
There is a guardrail, but no additional fall-prevention facilities are in place.
The police believe that A jumped in an attempt to take his own life due to personal distress, and are investigating the detailed circumstances of the incident.
