In a heart-wrenching incident, a 17-year-old boy hailing from the southern Indian state of Kerala lost his life after falling from a building in Ajman, UAE. The unfortunate incident occurred on a fateful evening, and the boy’s lifeless body was discovered by the Ajman Police early on Monday morning, who then promptly alerted his grieving parents.
The young victim, a Grade 12 student at the Global Indian School Ajman, had spent the previous evening participating in a community event at a church with his family. The circumstances surrounding the tragic fall remain unclear, leaving authorities and the community in shock.

This unfortunate incident brings to mind past tragedies involving young individuals who have lost their lives in similar accidents. Earlier this year, a 12-year-old girl tragically fell to her death in Dubai while her mother was at work, and her father was away in India. In another incident last year, a 16-year-old boy lost his life while skateboarding on the top floor of a seven-story car park in the Al Taawun area. Such events serve as stark reminders of the importance of safety awareness and vigilance, especially in environments where young people congregate.
