Faustian Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Haven't had one of these in a while. This sounds especially sad. Understandable even. RIP http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/october/news_29_10_52.shtml German jumps to his death from hi-rise apartment block in Jomtien. Pattaya, October 29 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : Early on Thursday Morning, Police and Rescue Workers were called to the Nusa Playa Hotel located on Jomtien Beach following reports of a foreign man who was threatening to jump off a 17th Floor Balcony. Officers arrived but were too late to prevent the man from jumping to his death. Police began their investigation by speaking to Security Staff at the Hotel and a neighbor of the victim who resides in the room. He explained that early on Thursday he was awoken by a commotion inside the room occupied by Mr. Jurgen Rudi Hans Oberhoff aged 68 from Berlin, Germany. Mr. Oberhoff was standing on his balcony and appeared to be preparing to jump. Security and Hotel Staff led by Khun Wira, Deputy Manager of the Complex were called and attempted to reason with him but he kept repeating that he would have to have his leg amputated in the next few days at a Hospital in Bangkok because of a vascular disease known as ASVD and was not prepared to live life as an amputee. Eventually Mr. Oberhoff jumped and landed on the 5th floor next to the Swimming Pool. The German Embassy has been informed as was his Thai Wife; Khun Prakom aged 48 who was not inside the room at the time of the suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
