on the morning of the 29th, a staff member of the village committee in the jurisdiction told jimu news that the grandmother who was stabbed was over 80 years old and a resident of the community. she was sent to the hospital for rescue after the incident.

a reporter from jimu news called the tianshenggang town sub-district office. the staff said that the fumin jingyuan community where the incident occurred is a resettlement housing community. the falling object was accidentally dropped by a high-altitude worker and was not an intentional high-altitude thrown object. the police are currently involved.

staff at the tianshenggang police station said that the police handling the case have found the person responsible and are investigating.

a reporter from jimu news learned from the relevant local official departments that the grandmother who was stabbed by a poker on the 27th unfortunately died after the rescue failed.

fu jian, director of henan zejin law firm, believes that if the falling object is intentional and the circumstances are serious, it may violate the relevant provisions of the criminal law of the people's republic of china on the crime of endangering public safety, the crime of intentional injury or the crime of intentional homicide. . for unintentional falling objects, if no serious consequences are caused, criminal liability is generally not pursued. in this case, because the falling objects were accidentally dropped by workers working at heights rather than intentionally thrown, civil liability was mainly involved. personnel working at heights, as tortfeasors, should bear the responsibility to compensate the grandmother and her family members for all losses.
