University of Otago and the police have been approached for comment. 

It comes a day after a person fell from height off Christchurch’s central city Tūranga library. 

One person was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition. 

Last year, a University of Otago student and rising rugby star nearly died after a horrific fall from a student flat roof. 

Jayden Broome, 19, suffered critical injuries on September 9 after slipping from the roof of the two-storey Castle St flat known as “Big Red” while celebrating his birthday with friends, bouncing off a wheelie bin before hitting the concrete footpath below. 

More to come.
