An Asian housemaid waited for her employers to go out at night, climbed out of the toilet’s window and jumped down to her death from the 14th floor.

Police said the maid, in her 30s, died of impact instantly, ruling out criminal act as she was on her own in the apartment in the eastern town of Dammam.

The employing family called by the police just after the incident identified the maid, according to Sabq newspaper, which did not make clear if the unnamed maid was locked up in the apartment at night.
