A man in China was so fed up with his girlfriend’s shopping that he jumped to his death off of a ledge at a shopping mall.

Chinese media reports have indicated that the incident occurred at the Golden Eagle Shopping Complex in the city of Xuzhou on Saturday afternoon after he was shopping with his girlfriend and got into an argument with her.

The mall was crowded that afternoon and a witness on the scene told China’s 21CN, “[It was] the weekend, so there were lots of mall-goers," adding, "I heard a 'bang' and then I heard people shouting that someone had jumped. I turned my head and I saw a man lying on the ground, totally motionless."

According to Huffington Post, the man climbed up a railing on the seventh floor of the mall before leaping to his death. He is believed to have died instantaneously.
