Woman in 20s dies after man falls from building in central Japan
A woman in her 20s died early Sunday after a man apparently fell from a 12-story apartment building and landed on her in Nagoya, central Japan, police said.
Houra Inaba, 23, and the man were taken to a hospital after the incident in the city's Sakae district, a busy area with many stores and entertainment facilities, at around 1 a.m. Shinsei Taguchi, 29, remains unconscious and in critical condition.
A female acquaintance of the victim called emergency services, saying a man had fallen onto her friend while they were walking together, according to the police.
The site is in an area crowded with office and apartment buildings along the Nagoya Expressway's downtown loop, about 500 meters northeast of Yabacho Station on the municipal subway's Meijo Line.
Similar fatal incidents have occurred in major urban areas in Japan. In August 2024, a 17-year-old high school girl jumped from a commercial building near JR Yokohama Station, southwest of Tokyo, killing a 32-year-old woman walking below.
In October 2020, a 17-year-old high school boy is believed to have jumped from a commercial complex in Osaka, fatally striking a 19-year-old female university student on the street.
