The sounds recorded on the night of the incident are now at the heart of a controversial investigation. Not the images, not the direct testimony, but what was heard—fragmented, vague, yet haunting—is gradually shaking the initial hypothesis about the death of the famous female fan on the 17th-floor balcony. When investigators first admitted that the sequence of sounds “was inconsistent with a free fall,” the entire story entered a completely different phase.
According to eyewitness accounts from the building and surrounding area, that night wasn’t just a single scream echoing in the quiet space. Immediately following what they described as “a short, rapid, and reflexive scream,” they heard other sounds lasting for several seconds—a loud impact on a hard surface, the sound of something heavy being dragged, and a moment of indescribable chaos. To many, these sounds didn’t resemble a sudden accident, but rather the result of a struggle that took place in a very confined space.
Initially, these testimonies were dismissed as subjective perceptions, easily influenced by panic after the incident. However, as the number of independent witnesses describing similar details increased, the police were forced to reconsider. Descriptions of “consecutive noises,” “unusual interruptions,” and “sudden silences before the fall” prompted the involvement of forensic acoustics experts.
Preliminary analysis revealed a key point: if a person fell from a 17th-floor balcony, the sequence of sounds typically consists of only a single noise—either the final impact, or the sound of glass or railings being struck, if any. The appearance of multiple different sounds, with varying intensity and rhythm, suggests that physical interaction occurred before the body left the balcony.
It is here that the concept of “sounds of a struggle” began to be formally mentioned in the investigation report. Investigators acknowledged that what was heard did not fit the scenario of a person standing alone, losing their balance, and falling. Instead, it suggested the possibility of the presence of at least one other person in the balcony space at that time.
This detail was particularly sensitive because the victim was a well-known female fan, known for her positive, energetic image and large following. Any hypothesis suggesting she wasn’t alone in her final moments carries serious social and legal implications. However, criminal investigations cannot avoid unpleasant possibilities if evidence points toward them.
Sound analysts point out that the “dragging” sound described by the witness is very distinctive. It wasn’t the sound of an object falling, but rather a brief but distinct friction between a heavy object and the floor surface. In the balcony space, this could correspond to a body or object being moved by external force.
Furthermore, the timing of these sounds is also significant. According to testimony, they occurred immediately after the scream, not simultaneously. This suggests the scream may not have been a reaction to the fall, but rather to a stressful situation that preceded it. A moment of fear, surprise, or confrontation could have occurred in a split second, enough to trigger a scream before things spiraled out of control.
Police acknowledged that these details forced them to reconsider the entire timeline of the incident. Instead of a concise and simple sequence of events, the picture emerged as far more complex, suggesting the possibility of a brief but intense struggle, taking place in a confined space and an extremely short period of time.
It’s noteworthy that no witnesses directly saw what happened on the balcony. All they had was sound—fragile evidence, yet sometimes frighteningly truthful. In many previous cases, sound has been the element that shattered seemingly solid assumptions, as it’s difficult to perfectly “stage” like images or testimony.
In this context, sound analysis is no longer a secondary factor, but a crucial pillar of the investigation. Investigators are comparing witness accounts with environmental data, the building’s architectural structure, and physical simulations to determine whether these
That sound could have been created under countless different scenarios.
A major question is being raised: if the victim wasn’t alone, who was the other person, and what was their role in that fateful moment? This is a question that investigators have yet to answer publicly. However, acknowledging the possibility of other people’s involvement marks a significant turning point, shifting the case from an accident to a more serious investigation.
According to those close to the victim, her family expressed both pain and outrage as these details were revealed. For them, accepting an accident was incredibly difficult; facing the possibility that their daughter experienced moments of struggle and panic before her death was even more devastating. However, they also affirmed their sole desire for the truth, however painful it might be.
Public opinion has also become polarized. Some in the public believe extreme caution is needed, avoiding over-interpretation based on unproven sounds. Conversely, many believe that ignoring these details would be a betrayal of justice, especially when the unusual signs have been acknowledged by the police themselves.
This incident once again demonstrates the fragility of the line between accident and deliberate act. Just one small element overlooked—a sound, a moment of silence, a seemingly insignificant detail—can completely misinterpret the nature of the event. In the case of the female fan on the 17th-floor balcony, those very sounds are forcing everyone to stop and listen more carefully.
At this point, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the scenario of a person alone, falling silently, is no longer the only hypothesis. The sounds of the struggle have opened up the possibility of a more complex and disturbing truth, where there may have been confrontation, conflict, or human intervention in the final moments.
As the investigation continues, each audio detail will be dissected, compared, and analyzed in greater depth. And perhaps, it is what was heard that night—not what was seen—that will hold the key to the final answer to an incident that the public cannot ignore.
