A woman in her 20s died after falling from a tower block in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, on Thursday morning. This incident occurred near the UNCLE building, where a family of three fell to their deaths earlier this year, though it is not confirmed if both incidents happened at the same location. The police are treating the recent death as non-suspicious and are working to contact her next-of-kin; no additional details about the cause or circumstances have been disclosed by authorities.

Story summary
In south London's Elephant and Castle district, a 29-year-old woman died after falling from a luxury tower block on Thursday morning. The Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service attended to the scene in Churchyard Row around 9:35 am but could not revive her. This incident occurred just months after another tragedy at the same building, where a family of three—Rakesh Pai (47), his wife Aditi Paralkar (46), and their nine-year-old son Sid—fell to their deaths from the 36th floor on May 27. The previous incident involved the terminally ill child with kidney disease whose parents were also battling mental health issues, as reported by friends. Both incidents have raised serious concerns about safety in high-rise buildings.
