London, Sep 2 (IANS) A troubled man in Britain plunged to his death from a 150-foot tower block just after his girlfriend fell.
Steven Parker, 23, followed his love Kiran Creevy, 20, in plunging 150 feet from the 12th floor of her empty Leeds council flat, the Daily Mail reported.
The couple, who lived in a maisonette nearby and were having problems finding work, reportedly left a suicide note before dialling 999, the emergency telephone number.
Neighbours said they heard his final words saying: ‘If she’s going, I’m going too.’
Kiran’s mother said she received an emotional telephone call from her daughter in the early hours of Wednesday morning. She got into her car and was on her way to see her. But as she arrived at the flat they had fallen to their deaths.
Rachel Whitehead, Kiran’s aunt, told the Daily Mirror that Steven was due to become father in just 10 weeks after an affair with an 18-year-old woman during a break in the couple’s relationship.
She said: ‘We just can’t believe she has done this. They left a suicide note but her mum has not seen it as the police need it for evidence.’
‘He was going out with two girls at once. He was seeing them both and the other girl is pregnant. One minute he was with Kiran and the next minute back with her.’
‘I do feel sorry for the woman. What is she supposed to say to their child, `Your dad committed suicide with his other girlfriend?’
West Yorkshire Police are probing circumstances surrounding their deaths.
