TOKYO, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Two men were found collapsed on a sidewalk in Japan's Osaka on Monday morning and were later confirmed dead, as one man is believed to have fallen from a high-rise building and fatally struck another man who was passing by on a bicycle, local media reported.
Emergency services received a call shortly before 11:30 a.m. local time reporting that a person had fallen, and a cyclist was also involved, according to national broadcaster NHK.
