Further details emerged suggesting that Mr Yu’s fall was connected to substantial gambling debts.
According to SET News, Mr Yu owed NT$1.8 million (S$75,000) and had arranged to meet with his debt collector, a man identified as Mr Yang, along with several others.
The group allegedly assaulted Mr Yu, who, in desperation, attempted to escape by climbing out a window after making an excuse of needing to use the restroom.
Authorities have since summoned Mr Yang and his accomplices for further questioning regarding their involvement in the incident.
