The media spokesman for the police of the Makkah region detailed that at 9:20 pm on Friday, the youngster jumped from the roof of the Grand Mosque generally labeled Haram Sharif by the Muslims, to the ground, which caused his death immediately.

“He was transferred to the hospital, and we are not completing our procedures, and we will be investigating the reasons for the jump, despite the presence of iron fence to protect the entire perimeter of the surface,’ he added.

The motive of the individual – who took his life just feets away from the Holy Kaabah – is still under wraps, however, investigations are underway.

Previously in Feb. 2017, a man tried to light himself on fire inside the complex but was prevented from doing so.
