Police are investigating the death of a man believed to have been killed by a window pane that fell from a new apartment block in central London.
The man, who officers believe to be in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the entrance of the Corniche building on the Albert Embankment at 10.42am on Tuesday.
The Corniche building, designed by the celebrated architecture firm Foster and Partners, was completed last year. The last remaining apartments on the development range in price from £2.7m to £6.25m. It also includes £22m penthouses on the upper floors.
St James, the building’s developers, said it was working with the police on the investigation. A spokesman said: “It is with great sadness that we learned of an incident at our Corniche development on Albert Embankment this morning, in which a man suffered fatal injuries.
