ZHANG Guosheng, mayor of Putian City in east China's Fujian Province, died after falling from a government building today, officials said.

Zhang, 54, fell at about 8 am and died during medical treatment in hospital, said a statement from the information office of Putian City.

The statement gave no other details of his death.

Police are investigating the incident.

An earlier statement from a spokesman with Publicity Department of the Putian Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China said Zhang had committed suicide, but he did not know from which floor Zhang had allegedly jumped.

Zhang served as head of Fujian Provincial Department of Oceans and Fisheries from 2003 to 2006. The Putian people's congress elected Zhang mayor in 2007.
