The 28-year-old man, pronounced dead at the scene, had only recently tied the knot, having been married for just two months before the heartbreaking tragedy unfolded, according to Shin Min Daily News.
His untimely demise has left his family shattered, with his wife and mother reportedly too heartbroken to come and claim his body.
