Passers-by found the blood-soaked man slumped on the road before calling 911.
Paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after and rushed the unidentified victim to Queen Mary Hospital for treatment.
But soon after, he was tragically pronounced dead after succumbing to his injuries.
According to reports, the married construction worker had dropped his AirPods on a canopy outside his apartment window.
The father is said to have played video games in the pad he shared with his brother before desperately trying to get his wireless earphones.
It is believed that he accidentally fell from the fifth-floor window in the early hours of the morning while trying to reach the metal canopy.
Bystanders initially believed the man was attempting suicide by jumping out of the window.
In a cruel twist of fate, the man is said to have reassured the concerned crowd that he “didn’t jump down” before falling.
Sing Tao daily reported that the police later found the AirPods, the charger and a smartphone with a loaded online game on the street.
The man is said to have a wife and child who both live in China.
His relatives who shared the flat with him reportedly only learned of his death after opening the door to police.
A large police presence remained in the apartment building in the wake of the horrific incident.
Local news outlets said preliminary investigations revealed the man accidentally tripped and fell from the window.
An official autopsy has yet to take place.
The case is currently classified as a death after falling from a height.
