MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A hectic scene outside Bickell City Center in Miami after a young boy and a woman fell from the building.

Both fell from around the 20th floor, according to Miami Fire-Rescue.

They were found by first responders on the 6th floor.

The 5-year-old boy was pronounced dead after being transported to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Miami Fire Rescue originally said that the call came in as a jumper and that the woman was possibly the child's mother.

Miami police later updated their information and said they had not confirmed the relationship between the two. It is now an "unclassified death," meaning police are not sure how it occurred. They are waiting for the homicide investigators report.
