Man dies after falling from Chelmsley Wood tower block

BYSTANDERS battled in vain to save the life of a man who fell from the ninth floor of a Chelmsley Wood tower block earlier today.
The man, who has not been named, plunged from an upper window at Trevelyan House at around 10.30am.
Paramedics said that local residents were already attempting CPR by the time they arrived on the scene, with ambulance crews continuing to give advanced life support.
Unfortunately nothing could be done to save the man, who was confirmed dead at the scene.
West Midlands Police confirmed the death did not appear to be suspicious, but had cordoned off an area outside the flats while they carried out their investigations.
