A depressed househelp allegedly jumped to her death from the top floor of a 4-story building in Makati City on Wednesday night.

Initial investigation of the Makati City police revealed that 43-year-old Nelly Rosarosa suddenly jumped from the laundry area of the building where she was working, located at No. 7845 Solchuaga St., Barangay Tejeros.

The case investigator, Senior Police Officer II Jayson David, said Rosarosa immediately died due to severe head injuries since she landed head first on the pavement.
