A surveillance camera at the scene captured the victim, Mr Chen (name transliterated from Chinese), falling to the sidewalk filled with pots of flowers.
The footage showed that his body hit the ground as two women walked by, one of whom was pushing a baby in the stroller.
Upon witnessing the fall, the female bypassers were startled, and one of them hurriedly pushed the stroller away.
Diners at a nearby breakfast restaurant were also shocked by the sight of the incident.
A woman who worked near the scene witnessed the entire event and was reportedly so traumatised that she had to seek immediate psychiatric treatment.
According to Taiwanese news site ETtoday News, Mr Chen’s body fragmented upon the impact and his body parts scattered in all directions.
