A 25-year-old woman was killed when she fell to her death from the 21st floor of a condominium at the Ortigas Center in Pasig City last Tuesday.

Ana Carmela Caudal, of Philam Life Village, Las Piñas City, broke her skull and fractured several bones in her body as a result of the fall from the roof deck of the Pacific Place Condominium on Pearl Drive.

It was not clear if her death was the result of a suicide or an accident.

Senior Inspector Alfredo Paneda, head of the criminal investigation unit of the Eastern Police District (EPD), said Caudal landed on a concrete structure of the second floor.

Paneda said a policeman, assigned at the Police Security and Protection Office at Camp Crame, brought to their attention the presence of a woman sitting on the ledge of the roof deck of the condo at around 6:10 p.m.

Paneda and his men quickly proceeded to the building and informed a security guards of what the officer saw.

However, before they could to investigate, they heard a loud thud.

"The guards said the victim earlier went up the roof deck alone," Paneda said. – Non Alquitran
