A TWO-YEAR-OLD boy died after falling in mysterious circumstances from a Sha Tin building yesterday.
Wong Ming-hung's body was found by a staff member of the Greenwood Kindergarten outside the 27-storey building in Greenwood Garden just before 9 am.
The boy had been taken to the kindergarten at around 8.30 am by his pregnant mother, So Shuet-mui, 39, who then went for a maternity check-up.
Police located the boy's father, 38-year-old Wong Yiu-ming, who was working in nearby Fo Tan, and he identified the body at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Equipped with a range-finder and binoculars, officers from the forensic evidence unit took measurements from the roof to try to establish which floor the boy had fallen from.
A tracker dog was used to search the area and the upper floors were checked to try to find the boy's T-shirt. He was wearing only shorts when he was found. A school bag was discovered in a nearby rubbish bin although it has not yet been established whether it belonged to the dead boy.
