SEOUL, Aug. 27 (Yonhap) -- A 40-something woman and her two daughters, aged between 10 and 19, have died after falling from a 12-story building in Seoul, officials said Wednesday.

Rescue authorities rushed to the scene, but they were all found in a state of cardiac arrest. The mother and one of the daughters were declared dead at the scene, while the other daughter was moved to a hospital but did not survive.

There were reportedly no signs of foul play and no suicide note. Police plan to investigate the exact circumstances of the deaths.
