A man died from falling off a balcony in an art gallery.

According to authorities, a man tragically passed away yesterday after falling from a balcony at a popular Scottish art museum. The incident took place at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and the man, who was 55 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency services were quickly called to the Royal Exchange Square just after noon that day.

Due to the unfortunate event, the gallery made the decision to close early for the remainder of the day and will resume normal operating hours on Thursday. A spokesperson for the local police department shared that they received a report about the incident and have determined that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the man's death. However, a formal report will still be sent to the Procurator Fiscal for further review.

The public was also informed about the closure through a post on the gallery's social media page. The post stated that the building was closed due to a member of the public falling from a balcony and that emergency services were on the scene. They also reassured everyone that the gallery will reopen as scheduled the following day at 10am.

The Gallery of Modern Art is a well-known attraction in the city center, recently showcasing the Cut & Run exhibition featuring works by renowned street artist Banksy. It is also recognized for the iconic traffic cone that sits atop the head of the Duke of Wellington statue outside the building. This tragic incident has brought sadness to the community and the gallery will surely be missed by visitors during its temporary closure. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the man who lost his life.
