Another person has fallen to their death at Sandton City mall in an apparent suicide. 

In a social media post of Saturday, the mall confirmed that a person had jumped to their death on Saturday afternoon.

"Emergency services responded to the scene immediately, but the individual was unfortunately pronounced dead. The SAPS are currently investigating the incident," said the mall.

Sandton City management sent condolences to the family.
