In the Jätkäsaari district of Helsinki, residents are uniting to gather signatures for a petition aimed at urging the city to take immediate action to enhance safety in the area. This initiative follows a series of tragic incidents, where four individuals have fallen to their deaths from the roof of a local parking garage. Despite the presence of police and ambulances at recent incidents, authorities have remained silent about the specifics of their investigations or the context of these fatalities.

The most recent death occurred in mid-February when an individual fell off the roof of the parking facility. This incident echoes a similar tragedy from last July, where two young girls lost their lives after falling from the same location, as well as a death in October. Authorities have not provided detailed explanations regarding these events, though police have stated that the fatalities involving the young girls were neither criminal acts nor accidents, leaving many to speculate that self-harm may have been involved.

Residents who have signed the petition are advocating for changes that would prevent further tragedies at the parking structure. With such grave incidents occurring in quick succession, there is growing concern among the community about the lack of transparency and the necessity for the city to act decisively in improving safety measures at this perilous site.
