No one committed suicide from the Burj Khalifa - that is the claim made by Dubai police refuting an exclusive report by the Daily Mail.The Daily Mail had reported yesterday that a woman, Laura Vanessa Nunes, had committed suicide after jumping off 148th floor of Burj Khalifa. However, Dubai police did add that a foreign national did commit suicide by jumping from the Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
According to media reports, Major General Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant to the Dubai Police Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs, said that the 39-year-old woman with a South African passport, jumped out of her 14th-floor Jumeirah Lake Towers apartment.
He said investigations showed that the woman was in a bad emotional and psychological state. He added that she was apparently heartbroken after a failed relationship with a Emirati businessman.
Maj Gen Al Mansouri said a police team carried out investigations at the crime scene and that there was nothing to suggest any criminal activity, adding that Nunes died on impact.
Nunes’ body was repatriated to her family as soon as the legal procedures were completed, he said.
Nunes was a qualified massuese and was in UAE to search for a job.
The Daily Mail had quoted Nunes' mother, Leona Skyes, who claimed that Laura had committed suicide from the Burj Khalifa towers.
