An investigation has been launched into the death of a man who is suspected to have fallen from the third floor of the Medical Ward at Kingston Public Hospital this morning.
Radio Jamaica News was informed that the patient had an argument with a nurse who tried to tie him to a bed.
He is said to have resisted. It's further understood that he climbed over the railing of the building and fell.
It's not clear whether his actions were deliberate.
Dr. Natalie Whylie, Chief Executive Officer of both Kingston Public Hospital and the adjoining Victoria Jubilee Hospital, said the incident occurred about 5:25 a.m.
The details of what transpired are still under investigation.
