TV actress's son dies after jumping off 49th floor of a Mumbai highrise
A 14-year-old boy allegedly died by committing suicide in Mumbai after a disagreement with his mother, who is an actor and worked in popular Hindi and Gujarati TV shows, media reports said.
As per reports, the disagreement happened over attending tuition classes, police said on Thursday.
The family lives on the 51st floor of the Brooke building in Kandivali.
The boy walked down a couple of floors and then jumped to his death on Wednesday.
In her statement, his mother said she had asked him to go for tuition around 7 pm but he appeared reluctant.
After he was told several times, the boy eventually left the house.
Minutes later, the watchman arrived at the house and informed the actor that her son had fallen from the building.
She found him lying in a pool of blood, the police said.
An accidental death report has been filed, and the body has been sent for autopsy.
Police said nothing suspicious has been found in the family's statement, but a detailed probe is underway.
