At around 5am on Tuesday, an expat resident who was walking down the stairs found a young man hanging from his clothes on the 41st floor of Tregunter 3, Apple Daily reported.
The young man, named Aran, was pronounced dead when firefighters and paramedics arrived.
Police confirmed that he was living with his Indian father and Japanese mother on the 42nd floor of the building.
