Law enforcement officials in Khmelnytskyi Oblast are investigating the circumstances of a tragic incident that occurred late in the evening on June 6 in one of the residential neighborhoods of the regional capital. Local residents discovered the body of a young woman showing no signs of life on the grounds of a high-rise apartment building. 

Paramedics from the emergency medical team, who arrived promptly at the scene, confirmed the victim’s death due to severe injuries characteristic of a fall from a great height.

A report about the discovery of the body on Starokostiantynivske Highway was received by the police duty station at 10:40 p.m. The investigative team quickly identified the deceased—she was an 18-year-old local resident.

According to preliminary findings, the Khmelnytskyi resident committed suicide by jumping from the open terrace of a 16-story residential building.
