Two foreign nationals have died in separate incidents after falling from a height at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 on May 1, with authorities confirming the cases are unrelated and under investigation.

The first incident involved a 27-year-old Chinese woman who fell from a Level 3 balcony area in the terminal’s Green Zone during the afternoon. Despite emergency response and hospital treatment, she later died. She had been scheduled to return to China the following day.

In a separate case that evening, a 30-year-old Algerian man fell from an outer balcony at the same terminal. Witnesses reported he ran toward a barrier before going over. He was taken to hospital but died in the early hours of May 2.

Police have classified both cases as sudden deaths and are continuing investigations, urging the public to avoid speculation while inquiries are ongoing.
