Ambulances were spotted outside the building as emergency workers rushed to the scene. One construction worker has found dead under rubble, emergency services have confirmed. 

In an aerial video, a worker can be seen dismantling part of the structure’s roof. The complex then begins to collapse as the construction worker scrambles to get inside a crane hoisted over the building, where a colleague can be seen looking on. However, it appears that the man failed to reach safety before the structure began to fail.

Emergency services say there is no risk of further collapse.
