Inside the flat officers discovered a woman in her 20s with head and facial injuries, before she was rushed to hospital.

Cops performed first aid on the man, who had dropped more than 300ft, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

One horrified neighbour told The Sun she heard screaming and shouting this morning as the incident unfolded.

Meanwhile a local construction worker, Greijb Koscwitz, described the aftermath as "like something from a horror movie".

He told MyLondon: "I had never seen anything like it me and the other boys were all taken aback.

"It’s not what you expect to see when you turn up to your shift."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers responded and located a female in her 20s with head and facial injuries. She has been taken to hospital.

"A short time later a male aged in his 20s was located outside following a suspected fall from height.

"Officers administered first aid prior to the arrival of LAS paramedics but he died at the scene."
