Dubai: An Indian man jumped to his death Sunday from the 30th floor of a building in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

An eye witness told Gulf News that he saw the remains of the man’s body as he was passing by Icon Tower in JLT around 2pm Sunday.

The witness, who did not wish to be identified, said he saw the dead body at the podium in JLT Icon 1.

“The body was a mere four metres away from me but it was not clear whether it was a human body or not,” the witness said, adding that it was a very disturbing sight.

The building security men were saying that it was an Arab man, and there were police, paramedics and JLT security around, he added.

Police sources said the man is a 45-year-old Indian executive, and initial investigation confirmed that he took his own life due to financial and marital difficulties.

Emirates 24|7 says that a letter allegedly written by the 45-year-old man reveals he was taking his own life following a dispute with his wife and due to certain financial problems, said police sources.
