Twenty-two-year-old dies in ten-metre fall from public sculpture

An unidentified 22-year-old foreign national fell ten metres to his death from a public Prague sculpture in Letná Park, the so-called Metronome, which overlooks the city. The incident took place at around 4 am; police are investigating whether the death was an accident, suicide or murder. Following the fall, a security camera on site captured images of a second man approaching the victim and robbing him of money from his back pocket. Police are searching for the man, who could face two years in prison for the theft and for the failure to call the emergency services. The incident at Letná Park is the second of its kind in recent days. In another incident, a man involved in a fight with a football fan, fell at the same spot. He remains unconscious and in critical condition at a Prague hospital.
