A 29-year-old French national fell to his death from the ninth floor of a residential complex in neighbouring  Navi Mumbai city on Sunday morning, police said. Charlie Saste, a resident of 'The Residence Green Escape' building, seems to have fallen from an open duct area on the ninth floor, an official said.

"He was rushed to hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival. Prima facie, it seems to be an accident. He was not in an inebriated condition at the time," an official said. "We have not found any foul play. Saste was living in India for the past two-three years. We have registered an accidental death report," said NRI Coastal police station senior inspector Tanveer Sheikh.
