A man has died after falling from a height from a luxury block of flats near Canary Wharf.

Police had been called to a “disturbance” at a flat in Talisman Tower, Lincoln Plaza at 4.50am on Thursday.

They found a woman, in her 20s, suffering injuries to her face and head. She was taken to hospital.

A short time later a man, also in his 20s, was found on the plaza having reportedly fallen from the 31-storey tower.

Police officers performed first aid before paramedics could arrive but he was declared dead at the scene.

There have been no arrests.
