Moment man falls 120ft to death after ‘throwing girlfriend from same spot'
This is the shocking moment a man drops 12 stories to his death, seconds after his influencer girlfriend did the same in a potential murder-suicide.
The horrific incident involving Dagner Rojas and Sarah Arauco was filmed by witnesses in the city of Santa Cruz, Bolivia on Tuesday April 27.
In the video the pair were both seen falling separately from a 12th story window before the authorities were called to the scene.
They were both confirmed to have died upon impact, suffering some gruesome injuries.
One video shows Rojas dangle from the window before falling, with a second video showing the incident from a different angle.
Local media reports Rojas’ potentially self inflicted fall was filmed by neighbours as it came just moments after he allegedly pushed his girlfriend from the same place.
Special Force Against Violence (FELCV) Director Jose Velasco said the authorities “are processing the scene” and that they “want nothing other than to do a serious job.”
According to local newspaper Milenio, neighbours claim they heard the couple arguing before they were seen falling from the 12th floor.
As a result, authorities are now investigating a possible femicide case followed by suicide but gave no further details.
A close source to the couple told the same outlet that, although Rojas had behaved “jealously” at times, the two had made plans to marry in May this year.
Sarah and Rojas had also participated in a discontinued local television show called ‘Calle 7’ which saw several contestants complete challenges in groups to win a prize.
They were a popular couple online, with Sarah boasting a following of 23,900 Instagram followers.
The investigation into their deaths is ongoing.
You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't 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's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is 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 bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You're Not Alone.
