A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop.

Tao Hsiao is carried out of the shopping mall on a stretcher but he was pronounced dead



Eyewitnesses say he could be heard saying they already had more bags than they could carry, but she insisted on going into one more shop where the was a special offer on shoes.

Tao Hsiao, 38, jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend in a shopping mall


An eyewitness said: 'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a
lifetime and it was pointless buying any more.
'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.'
The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic.
Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed immediately from the impact of the fall.
A shopping spokesman said: 'His body was removed fairly quickly.
'He actually landed on one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although the store was damaged it meant he didn't hit anybody.
'This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people.'

I don't do it, she drives me crazy, she's incorrigible when shopping, especially during the holiday season. I'm nothing more than a punching bag. I spend one evening shopping with my kids. We have a great time, including dinner. Mom's not invited. It doesn't even phase her anymore.

I have always hated shopping with a woman...you can't win and it usually lasts longer than a round of golf....

One of the many reasons for divorce...
