The Bangladesh national reportedly fell down from the fourth floor into the ventilation shaft. The man was initially rushed to the Hulhumale hospital but was later transferred to the privately-run ADK hospital in the capital Male.

The man had reportedly suffered fractures to the chest and arm and was in a coma before he passed away from the injuries.
