Teen climbing the roof of a high-rise building falls to his death

A Russian teenager spent ten terrifying minutes desperately trying to climb back onto the roof of a high-rise building before falling to his death. He was filmed clinging to the edge by his fingertips before his strength failed and he fell nine floors. It is unclear what the teenager was doing messing around on the roof, with some people saying he was planning to take a selfie hanging over the edge, and others suggesting he wanted to commit suicide but then changed his mind.
Medics who turned up at the location in the town of Novy Urengoy in north central Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug said the 19-year-old had been killed instantly. Friends of the teenager said: “He argued with his girlfriend before climbing onto the roof.
“I reckon maybe he just wanted to scare her and I certainly don’t think he wanted to commit suicide. But by the time he slipped, it was too late.”
