A woman in her twenties died after falling from the 45-floor UNCLE building in Elephant and Castle, south London, near where another family of three fell to their deaths in May. The police are treating this incident as an accident not related to foul play. This recent death follows the tragic fall of Rakesh Pai, Aditi Paralkar, and their nine-year-old son Sid from the same building on May 27, which is currently under investigation by authorities.
