A woman jumped to her death inside Shanghai’s IAPM mall this morning, and while the case is still under investigation, it’s been speculated that the apparent suicide was related to China’s volatile stock market taking another dive.

Shanghai Composite, China’s biggest stock, dropped five percent within just an hour and reached a three month low earlier today.
