The incident occurred on April 19th at Frankton Road, near the holiday home, leading to serious injuries.

The man is currently under medical treatment in Christchurch Hospital with life-threatening injuries. A Givealittle page has raised funds for this tragic incident, calling it a 'tragic accident'. Eyewitness accounts indicate that the man was on the balcony railing when he fell, and the railing had structural issues causing the fall from a third-floor balcony (approximately 6 meters high).

Police have inspected the site and found broken railings, leading to the incident. The local council has issued整改 orders for the affected buildings.
