Beijing - A cyclist in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen died after he was hit by an apparently suicidal man who jumped from the 35th floor of a nearby building, state media said on Sunday. The 52-year-old cyclist, surnamed Li, was making deliveries from his fast-food restaurant when the jumper landed on him Thursday afternoon, the official China Daily said. The younger man, surnamed Liu, was allegedly a drug addict who had moved to Shenzhen from the north-eastern province of Heilongjiang, the newspaper quoted local media as saying. He jumped from the balcony of an apartment after standing there for 12 hours, it said. Liu died instantly and Li died later in hospital, the newspaper said in a brief report.
