On the 16th floor of an apartment building in Gwangyang-eup, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, a woman in her 40s fell to the flower bed on the first floor and died.

According to the Gwangyang Police Station in Jeollanam-do on the 3rd, a woman in her 40s was reported to have fallen into an apartment flower bed in Gwangyang-eup at around 9:10 a.m. the previous day. 119 was dispatched and rushed to a hospital in Suncheon, but died.

The police suspect that A fell after opening the window and hanging out the laundry without being able to bear the weight of the blanket, and are trying to determine the exact cause of the accident.

On the other hand, special attention is required as accidents that fall while shaking off blankets or hanging them on the veranda are steadily occurring.

In November 2018, a housewife in her 30s who was shaking off a blanket from a veranda on the seventh floor of an apartment building in Daegu fell to the flower bed on the first floor and died, and in December 2017, a man in his 50s fell from the veranda on the 11th floor of an apartment building in Busan and died.
