Security footage captured the horrifying moment a Turkish teenager fell to her death from a building while trying to retrieve her phone.
The tragedy occurred on October 12 after Melike Gun Kanavuzlar, 15, dropped her mobile phone while on top of a building in the city of Ortacha in western Turkey’s Mugla province, local media reported. When the little girl tried to grab the phone in flight, she lost her balance and fell four stories to the sidewalk below.
The disturbing 11-second clip, captured by security cameras on neighboring buildings, shows a bystander walking on the sidewalk in front of the building when she saw a cell phone that had fallen to the ground.
The moment she started to approach the device, she quickly backed away just as Melika’s body hit the concrete next to her so hard that it bounced off.
After that, the girl was rushed to the state hospital in critical condition, before being transferred to the Intensive Care Unit in the city of Mugla in southwestern Turkey, “Newsflash” reported. She lasted an incredible 18 days before succumbing to her injuries. Kanavuzlar was buried on October 30.
