Man falls 33 stories to his death in Cyprus

According to local media, the body of a man was found at the construction site of 360 Nicosia, the tallest and nearly-complete residential building in Cyprus.

State forensic pathologist Sofocles Sofocleous and law enforcement officials rushed to the scene on Makariou Avenue, while the identity of the man was not immediately made known. 

Police told Knews it was too early to issue a statement, as mixed reports about the man ranged from describing him as a construction worker to a trespasser or an off-the-clock builder that somehow managed to get in the building.

According to sources cited by Kathimerini Cyprus, a cigarette pack believed to have belonged to the deceased, was found on the 33rd floor where the man purportedly went a little after midnight.

Police say the body was discovered around 9am, with some reports saying it was mangled beyond recognition.
