A boy who fell to his death from a seventh floor balcony may have fallen 'trying to look at the stars', an inquest was told

A statement read out at Poplar Coroner's court from his grandmother Iwona Wozniak revealed the family believe Marcel, who "loved astronomy", fell while looking at the stars."Maybe he lent out to have a look."Picture: Karolina Bruchal

On Saturday March 19, after playing table tennis for two hours, Marcel went out onto the balcony and a family member said Marcel was "looking down" and "looking at it in a weird way". But Marcel's mother told her it was normal for him to be "clingy" and they returned to the flat, at which point Marcel watched TV and then suggested doing karaoke after they had eaten.China launches biggest ever war games exercise around Taiwan as Liz Truss urges de-escalation'Footballers should stop play and take the knee if fans are racist,' says James O'Brien caller

But then Ms Wozniak described how she heard cries from another family member on the balcony, shouting "Marcel no, Marcel no, Marcel why?"."I saw two people and a car," she said in the statement."I was shouting 'Chris, Chris' and then 'Jesus Christ'."Ms Wozniak said Marcel had been bullied at school but that she was not aware of "mental health issues", maintaining he fell trying to look at the stars.
