A man plunged to his death in a bustling Hong Kong shopping centre on Saturday afternoon.
He was found unconscious on the fourth floor of the Langham Place shopping centre on Argyle Street in Mong Kok after police received reports that someone had fallen from a higher level at 1.19pm on Saturday.
A mall spokesman said the incident was not linked to its iconic long escalator connecting levels four and eight. It had been closed for maintenance since Friday.

The incident was witnessed by numerous shoppers, and police soon cordoned off the area.
The man was rushed to Kwong Wah Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, according to the force.
The man’s cause of death has yet to be determined. Authorities are expected to conduct an autopsy soon.
Police said no suicide note was found at the scene.

Some users on Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu said they had witnessed the incident, with one saying she had heard people screaming and then saw someone fall and land near a booth.
“My hands are still shaking,” she wrote in a post uploaded moments after the fall. “Many people were around the booth and I saw many were crying.”
The installation was set up by a fan club of Mirror star Anson Lo but was shut down and sealed off with tall black screens following the incident.

The Langham Place spokesman expressed its deepest condolences and said it would “fully assist with the relevant investigation work”.
In 2018, the mall’s escalator suddenly flipped into reverse and sent shoppers tumbling to the ground, injuring 18. About 120 people were going up the 45-metre escalator at the time.
