阿米鲁受访时说：“我并不怕，我只想看能帮上什么，他穿着红白色外套，里面穿着白色上衣和短裤校服，躺在那边一动不动，后脑勺流血。”
他说，大家都不敢动男子，后来医护人员赶到，检查后警方就架起蓝色帐篷，他知道男子救不活了。
居民沙莉花（56岁）说，警方也上楼查看，一些居民跟上去，看见12楼听着一辆脚踏车、书包和手机，相信少年是从那里坠下。
父母边跑边哭

居民谢兴华（40岁，自雇人士）说，少年奶奶跟着也跑来。她告诉邻居，孙子一般放学后就回她家，但今天拨电给他都没接。
记者赶到现场，看见少年家人走近帐篷认尸，跟着呼天抢地痛哭。一名少妇哭晕，需旁人搀扶擦药油。

他也在今年6月在面簿上开了网页，标题为《支持陈翔成为巡察长2014！》，发布自拍视频讲述要当巡察长的原因，并说“如果被选上，我会为学校效劳，成为有效率的巡察长。我会全力以赴。”
