A seventh-grade student named Samia Noor (15), died after falling from the eighth floor of PG Hospital in Shahbagh in the capital. The incident occurred at around 2:30 pm on Saturday.
Samia was the adopted daughter of Nurunnabi and Parul Akter from Kalmeshwar village in Gazipur Sadar upazila. She was adopted when she was two or three years old. She knew Nurunnabi and Parul as her biological parents.
Samia’s maternal uncle Masud Alam told Agamir Somoy that his sister Parul was admitted to PG Hospital five days ago for treatment of a uterine tumor. At noon on Saturday, she was talking with her daughter in a ward on the hospital’s eighth floor. At one point, Samia accidentally fell through an open space in the ward’s window and sustained critical injuries.
She was later rescued and taken to the One Stop Emergency Center at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). After conducting examinations, the duty doctor declared her dead at 5:14 pm.
