Responding officers, led by Sub-Lieutenant Akkharadet Piamphumipanya, attended the scene alongside Sattahip rescue workers. The victim was identified as David Spooner, 77, a British national.
His body was found in the condominium car park with multiple fractures and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities secured the area while investigators documented the scene and gathered evidence.
According to an unnamed neighbour, Spooner regularly carried out maintenance and decoration work in his condominium unit himself. Before the incident, he had been seen painting the balcony of his apartment. The neighbour said that shortly afterwards it was discovered that Spooner had fallen from the balcony and died at the scene.
Investigators conducted a detailed examination of the location before inspecting the victim’s eighth-floor room. Police reported that no signs of a struggle or any unusual circumstances were found inside the apartment.
The death remains under investigation. Officers are collecting evidence and coordinating with the victim’s relatives as part of the inquiry.
Khaosod reported that the body will be transferred to the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine for a post-mortem examination. Authorities said the exact cause and circumstances of the death will be determined once the investigation and forensic examination have been completed.
