Police are investigating the death of a college student who died on Saturday after a portion of the goal post fell on him.

The 24-year-old student of Shanghai University of Electric Power was reportedly doing pull-ups when the bar fell on him.

He was announced dead at 9:16pm.

His parents, who live in central China’s Hubei Province, have been informed and flew to the city yesterday.
