Strangely the pane of glass that struck her was not damaged.
This was despite falling nearly 200ft from the upscale block of flats in the Wuchang district of Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province, in China.
The victim’s grieving cousin, Wang, said the deceased was a 45-year-old migrant worker from Henan province who had moved away full of hope for a better life.
She had started to work as delivery woman only one month before.
