Two tourists have died after falling from balconies in front of terrified passengers at the same airport just hours apart.
A 27-year-old Chinese woman and a 30-year-old Algerian man died after falling at a Malaysian airport on Friday.
Local police said the two cases, which occurred just hours apart, are considered unrelated.
Heartbreaking footage shows the 27-year-old woman sitting on a ledge in front of horrified spectators moments before falling from the balcony.
She is thought to have collapsed at around 2:20pm on 1 May – with local authorities saying she was “crying and screaming aggressively” just before her death.
Security personnel and Kuala Lumpur International staff tried to calm the woman.

Every 90 minutes a person dies by suicide in Britain.
It does not discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It is the biggest killer of people under 35, more deadly than cancer and car accidents.
And men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women.
Yet it is rarely talked about, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly wrath unless we all stop and pay attention.
That’s why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our part to help save lives.
Let’s all pledge to ask for help when we need it and listen to others… You are not alone.

Medical teams reached the spot before treating him.
He was later taken to Putrajaya Hospital for further treatment, but was tragically pronounced dead at 5:09 pm local time.
Police revealed that he was to board a return flight to China on May 1.
Police say the investigation into his death is ongoing.
Just hours after his death, at about 9:10 p.m., a 30-year-old Algerian man jumped from the outdoor balcony area on the third floor of Terminal 2.
Police said he jumped in a suspected suicide attempt.
A witness reportedly saw the man open his bag before running towards the barrier and jumping over it.
Emergency services found him at the scene before taking him to Cyberjaya Hospital for further care.
He also died at 2:55 am on May 2, a few hours after succumbing to his injuries.
Local police urged the public not to speculate on any incident.
Kuala Lumpur authorities ruled both cases as sudden deaths.
