'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a
skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.'
The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on
the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations
on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing
shocked shoppers to flee in panic.
Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed
immediately from the impact of the fall.

anybody.
'This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be
very stressful for many people.'
