Brit Balcony Jumper last Friday

[Damen]

Any Thai cop worth his salt could tell you this was no suicide, as there was no mention of his hands being tied behind his back or plastic bag wrapped around his head.

...and four people reported/on video, to have left the apartment/room immediately afterwards.

British man falls to his death from 14th floor of hotel

 

Boonlua Chatree

 

A British man married to a Thai woman jumped to his death from the 14th floor of a hotel in South Pattaya during the afternoon of September 22.

 

Officers from Pattaya police station along with tourist police officers and the British consular attach้ for Pattaya rushed to the scene after the hotel?s gardener reported that someone had jumped and landed on a second floor overhang.

 

They found the body of British national Christopher James Perry, aged 30 years. Hotel staff said that Perry had been staying on the 14th floor of the building with his Thai wife. Entering the room, officers found no signs of disturbance. On the bed was a packet of cigarettes and a pair of glasses. The sliding door to the balcony was open. On the balcony was a table, and there were six cigarette stubs on the floor.

 

Later on the dead man?s wife Mrs Prathum Perry, age 23, returned to the room. She told police that during the morning she and her husband had visited Naklua market and then returned to their room. At 12:30 her husband was sleeping and she left to visit her friend in Jomtien. When she returned she was greeted with the terrible news that her husband had jumped to his death. She didn?t know why her husband did such a thing.

 

The father of the dead man, 60-year-old Richard Perry, was staying in a room on the same floor. He told police that his son had been drunk every day since arriving in Thailand on September 19. They had been due to fly back to England on September 26. He said he had constantly warned his son about his drinking, and speculated that he may have jumped whilst drunk or sat on the balcony ledge and fallen off.

Au contraire! If anything, there are far too few punters in Pattaya jumping off balconies.

 

 

 

 

BK,

 

Thanks for my laugh of the day!

You're very welcome. But only if you'll jump. >

Hardly a charitable thought when those of us living in Pattaya know of certain non suicide suicides.

 

As a side note, those found having committed suicide never have any money on them or in their condo or hotel room. Just as those found gambling only ever have about Bt40 or Bt60 on the table in bets !

 

All bullshit and not helped by comments such as yours. Hope you live or stay on the ground floor.

As i said before there is a cottage industry in assisted jumps in Pattaya.

 

Funny how most times the woman is out when it happens.

 

I don't believe in so many coincidences and this aspect of Pattaya is really part of the very seamy side of life in this city.

Guess it's like what your signature says: "When you've done your dough, it's time to go."
