Chiang Mai - A British tourist committed suicide Saturday morning by jumping from his room on the sixth floor of a condominium in this northern city and falling to his death on the roof of an adjacent building, police said.

 

Entirely naked, the victim, identified as Mark Anthony, age 35, leaped from his apartment room, breaking his neck and wrists in the fall.

Police said he had lived in the central Chiang Mai condominium for more than six months.

 

Police said Anthony had undergone a medical checkup at a provincial hospital two days earlier and had been stressed after returning to his room, apparently after learning that he was suffering from a chronic disease.

 

Police said they would conduct further investigations. His body is being kept at a hospital here.

The real disease is spreading north at an alarming speed, worse than bird flu - first the 'accidental falls' in Pattaya (where the disease is endemic, has been for years) then Bangkok apartments in recent months, and now Chiang Mai!

 

Time to put an extra railing on the balcony...
