A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Puerto Inca, Peru, when 21-year-old Emely Fiorela Mego Díaz lost her life after falling from the second floor of a local bar while attempting to reconcile with her 27-year-old boyfriend, Henry Manuel del Águila Macedo, following a heated argument in the early hours of Monday, August 4.
Security footage from the establishment reveals the couple's final moments, showing Ms Mego Díaz rushing toward her boyfriend in what appears to be an attempt to embrace him after their dispute. The tragic sequence of events culminated in both individuals plunging from an unprotected section of the building that lacked proper safety railings.
Local authorities confirmed that Ms Mego Díaz, who reportedly worked at the bar, succumbed to her injuries immediately upon impact. Her boyfriend survived the fall but sustained severe, life-threatening injuries that required emergency transfer from a local health center to a better-equipped hospital facility.
The shocking incident has sparked widespread discussion about building safety standards in the area, with many observers noting the apparent absence of adequate protective barriers in the establishment. The viral CCTV footage clearly shows the dangerous architectural oversight that contributed to this preventable tragedy.
