GEORGE TOWN, MALAYSIA - A 35-year-old woman, believed to be suffering from post-natal depression after giving birth to her first baby three months ago, fell to her death in Paya Terubong here.

The body of Phang Ting Yeow, from Bayan Baru, was found on the hood of a car at the Wayton Flats at 12.15pm yesterday.

It is learnt that Phang, who had delivered a baby boy, had driven her car from her home in Bayan Baru to the flats.

Police found some used tissue paper, leaflets on cervical cancer and a book on Buddhist mantras in the front passenger seat of her car which was parked beside the van she landed on. Phang's body was sent to the Penang Hospital mortuary for post-mortem.

Acting George Town police chief Supt Gan Kong Meng said initial police investigations showed that she was suffering from depression.
