Bonsai!

A woman died and a man was knocked unconscious, apparently after the woman leaped from the roof of a department store in Tokyo and landed on the man, police said Tuesday.

Police said a passerby found the man and woman collapsed and bleeding on the road in front of the Ikebukuro Parco department store in Tokyo's Toshima-ku at about 1 p.m. on Tuesday, and alerted police.

The woman, believed to be a 25-year-old unemployed Tokyo resident, was confirmed dead soon afterwards. The man, who is thought to be a 37-year-old resident of Chiba Prefecture, remains unconscious in serious condition.

Ikebukuro Police Station officials said the woman's shoes were found on the roof of the Parco building, leading them to suspect that she had jumped to her death and landed on the man. It is common in Japan for people to remove their shoes before committing suicide.
