Horrifying footage has captured the moment a 32-year-old fell to his death during a game of pickleball in Malaysia on December 2.
The man, who has not yet been named, can be seen leaping over the safety railing to try and retrieve a ball before plunging from the three-story court.
The man reportedly jumped on the mesh netting that covered the gap, but fell when it tore under his weight.
Shocked onlookers can be seen visibly horrified at the scenes, before rushing to the ground floor, where he was tragically found dead.
The incident reportedly took place at Playa Racquet Club in Kuala Lumpur, which describes itself as providing “laid-back and fun pickleball sessions on rooftop courts, set against the stunning skyline of the city.”
The social club provides a bar, cafe, relaxation space, three outdoor courts, and one indoor court.
In a statement, the club said: “We are deeply saddened by a tragic incident that occurred at our TREC facility, which resulted in the loss of a life.
“At this time, we ask for understanding and compassion as we respect the privacy and loved ones affected.
“We kindly urge the public to refrain from speculation while the appropriate authorities carry out their investigation.”
Wangsa Maju district police chief Mohamad Lazim Ismail said that “the case has been classified as a sudden death.”
In a statement he confirmed that authorities received a report around 9:43pm regarding the incident.
“The deceased was playing pickleball on the third floor and had climbed over the court’s fence to retrieve a ball and fell to the lower floor,” he said in a statement.
