woman, identified as CV, died after allegedly jumping from the fourth floor of a mall in Pluit, North Jakarta, on Friday afternoon.
"The woman allegedly committed suicide. Her body was rushed to the RSCM Hospital [Central Jakarta]," head of Penjaringan Police Reskrim, Comr. Mustakim said, as quoted by kompas.com.
Mustakim revealed that CV was eating with her family at a fast food restaurant in the mall before she reportedly excused herself to go to the toilet.

A witness reportedly saw her step on the railing on the fourth floor and then jump.
“[Her family] became aware after seeing the crowd," Mustakim said.
