dscrtsldnbi Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Suicides, most likely (though this particular way of dispatching their targets was quite popular with some gangs in Europe 20-30 years ago), but what a trauma to those who have witnessed it all or had to deal with it immediately afterwards before the police arrived.

reader Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 From Pattaya News Romanian Tourist Falls to Death from Pattaya Hotel Balcony A 63-year-old Romanian tourist lost his life in a fall from the balcony of a 7-story hotel in Soi 5, Pattaya, on Friday morning, February 9th. The incident was reported to Pattaya police around 9:30 AM. Police officers and rescue workers arrived at an unidentified hotel to find the lifeless body of the deceased, a 63-year-old Romanian man whose name was withheld pending family and embassy notification, in the garden area below the balcony. The victim, clad only in black shorts, had sustained severe head injuries and dislocated limbs. Authorities cordoned off the scene before transporting the body to a nearby local hospital. The victim’s wife was present at the incident scene, visibly distraught by the tragic incident. She did not provide a statement to the press. Ms. Somjai Benden, a 54-year-old employee of the hotel, stated that she was tending to her duties near the hotel pond when she heard a loud sound above her. Alarmed, she looked up to see the victim clinging to the railing of the 4th-floor balcony before losing his grip and plummeting to the ground below. Ms. Somjai immediately alerted the authorities. The cause of the incident remains undetermined, and Pattaya police are currently conducting an investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reader Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 What is it about Pattaya that causes so many to kill themselves or be killed within its borders. From Pattaya News Japanese National Found Dead After Fall from Sri Racha Condominium A naked Japanese man was discovered deceased on Monday, February 26th, following a fall from a condominium building in Sri Racha, Chonburi. Authorities responded to a report of the individual falling from a condominium building early this morning. The incident occurred at a prominent high-rise condominium, whose name was withheld pending an ongoing investigation in the Sri Racha district. Authorities arrived at the scene and located the body of a deceased person on the 6th floor by the swimming pool. The victim was identified by Sri Racha police as Mr. Yuya Fujiwara, a 41-year-old Japanese national. The police disclosed the victim’s identity after reportedly contacting his family and embassy. The victim was found lying face up on the ground, with a broken right arm and a severely injured leg. Rescue personnel covered the body before transporting him to a nearby hospital. An initial investigation revealed that Mr. Fujiwara resided in a rented unit on the 26th floor of the condominium building. No signs of forced entry, disturbances, or suicide notes were found within the room. vinapu and Ruthrieston 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually we are tempted to say it must be something in the water but this seems to be serious matter and frequent occurrence.
