Foreigner Falls 100 Feet to His Death
G. CHANNING SMITH DROPS FROM NINTH STOREY OFFICE
Difficulties Encountered In Reaching Body
Mr. G. Channing Smith, well-known American resident of Hongkong, apparently leapt to his death from the ninth floor of the Bank of East Asia Building in the early hours of this morning.
From the window of the office which he had sub- leased from Mr. D. A. Purves, Mr. Channing Smith fell, head first, onto the tiled roof of the former Powell Building, now occupied by Rolny, Ltd., Gilman & Co. and Office Appliances, Ltd., and known as White House.
He struck the roof with such violence that a portion caved in. The body rebounded, however, and fell three feet from where it first struck the building. Difficulties were encountered reaching the body.
