Vancouver police have announced that an investigation into the death of a young girl who fell to her death from a high-rise condominium in the Yaletown district in November has ruled out any suspicious activity. The accident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on November 11th, when a girl fell from a 23rd-floor balcony to a 7th-floor balcony at a high-rise condominium near Nelson Street and Expo Boulevard. The girl sustained serious injuries, and despite emergency medical treatment, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to reports, the victim was 8-year-old Gandum Taheri, a resident of Squamish, a suburb of Vancouver, who was visiting his father who lived in the condominium on the day of the incident.
Police have called it a “tragic accident” but have not released details of what led up to it, saying the results of their investigation were communicated to the family before being released to the public.
A memorial for Gundom and an online fundraiser for his family have raised a total of $50,000 since the accident, with the fundraiser’s organizers describing him as “a beautiful, loving, kind child with a heart that brought joy to those around him.”
