Tourist dies attempting world's highest bungee jump in China
A 56-year-old man died on 3rd of December after attempting the world's highest bungee jump from the Macau Tower in China.
Reports indicate that the Japanese tourist completed the 233-meter (764-foot) leap at around 4:30 pm local time.
Shortly after the jump, he experienced shortness of breath and lost consciousness. Despite having no visible external injuries, the man was immediately transported to Conde S. Januario Hospital for emergency treatment. Unfortunately, he was later pronounced dead.
