If something falls from the roof and kills people, who will pay for it?

1. The owner of the falling object or the person who can't find the actual falling object shall bear the responsibility.

It is illegal to throw objects at high altitude. In this case, you should first report to the property management company where the community is located. In case of throwing objects at high altitude, causing property and personal injury, the property management company is not without any responsibility, but under certain conditions, it must bear certain liability for compensation. Because the property management company has the responsibility to manage the public order of the community or maintain the regional order. Parabolic objects at high altitude are acts that undermine public order and endanger public safety. Trying to stop them should be one of the responsibilities of the property management company. According to laws and regulations, if a realty service enterprise fails to perform the realty service contract, causing personal and property safety damage to the owner, it shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities according to law.

Legal basis:

Article 1254 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibits throwing objects from buildings. If an object thrown from a building or an object falling from a building causes damage to others, the infringer shall bear tort liability according to law; If it is difficult to determine the specific infringer after investigation, in addition to being able to prove that he is not an infringer, the user of the building who may cause harm shall be compensated. After compensation, the user of the building who may cause damage has the right to recover from the infringer.
