Powered by

The man allegedly seen with Warriena Tagpuno Wright before she plunged to her death from the 14th floor balcony of a Gold Coast unit has denied any responsibility in the woman's death.

Gable Tostee, 28, took to the bodybuilding site bodyspace to issue the statement:

"I've been advised not to go into details but all I will say is that I absolutely did NOT cause this girl to fall and that I am devastated about what happened to her."

The statement was posted in a thread started by Mr Tostee in February this year titled 'Stupud chick sends this to me after Tinder date', where he complained about a separate woman he met on dating app Tinder.

In the thread Mr Tostee details his exploits with the app as well as complaining about dates.

The thread sat dormant for several months until news broke of Ms Wright's death.

Ms Wright, 26, allegedly also met Mr Tostee on Tinder and the couple was seen on the balcony of the Avalon Apartments at 2.20am last Friday.

Witnesses also claim they heard loud screaming and raised voices coming from the 14th floor the morning of Ms Wright's death.

"I heard her screaming once, then she stopped. Then she screamed and then she stopped again. I think she screamed a third time and after that I heard a bang," a witness - only identified as Tania told Nine News.

"Very upsetting, very upsetting, I couldn't believe it."

Another witness, Adam, who lives on the 17th floor said: "By the sounds of things it's happened on my side of the building, right by my bedroom window."
