BREAKING: Man Takes Plunge from Fifth Floor of Building Following Heartbreak by Girlfriend

A man has jumped off from the fifth floor of a building in Kasarani following what sources say was a heartbreak by his girlfriend.

The man ( name withheld pending notification of relatives) is seen in a video clip gone viral on social media dressed in shorts and hanging precariously from the balcony of a building before plunging to his death. He was bare-chested and dressed in a brownish short.

In the video clip, the man is recorded hanging on the balcony of the building as he contemplated his suicidal thoughts.

He hangs in there for quite some time before deciding to stop holding onto the grills on the balcony. He falls off from the top of the building and it is not clear whether he survived the fall and died later or he died on impact.

Those who captured the event unfold screamed as his body moved rapidly towards the ground.
