Chinese kills after 5 hours of shopping with girlfriend

The five straight hours of shopping had weighed a lot - both in the mood and the arms. But visiting one more shoe store was too much for Tao Hsiao, 38. After arguing with his girlfriend, the Chinese threw all the bags to the floor and threw themselves down the balcony, plummeting dozens of feet to the ground in a shopping mall in Xuzhou, province. from Jiangsu (China).

According to gifts, Hsiao already had more bags with him than he could carry. The girlfriend, however, insisted on visiting the store because of a promotion. "He said she already had enough shoes, that she had more shoes than she could ever wear, that it made no sense to buy another pair, " said one of the people who witnessed the incident.

“She started yelling at him, ” the witness adds, “accusing him of being mean and spoiling Christmas. The discussion was very heated. ” It was at this moment that the man launched himself, dragging various Christmas ornaments before crashing to the ground seven floors below, causing panic and turmoil.

Hsiao was found dead by the emergency service, which arrived shortly thereafter. "The body was quickly removed, " said a mall spokesman. “He ended up falling on one of the tents before reaching the ground. Although some stores have been damaged, it has not hit anyone, ”he said, concluding that“ it was a tragic accident, but this time of year can be really stressful for some people. ”
