‘Foreigner’ jumps to death from Central Festival Pattaya

 

 

A person died after falling from the 6th floor at Central Festival Pattaya on Thursday afternoon.

 

An image shared to social media showed rescue workers attending the scene.

 

The post said a foreigner had died, while a witness at the scene told Thaivisa a foreigner jumped from the 6th floor. Thaivisa has been unable to corroborate the account.

 

No further details are available.

He did indeed jump from Hilton hotel room as i posted on your original post, Italian guy around 60 years old

He must have jumped VERY far. 

[bkk6060]

All very sad.

Maybe they need to have a psychiatric kiosk at the mall.

Jumpers can get some counseling to possibly help from jumping.

Have a big sign at the entrances advising those with mental suicide issues to contact the kiosk.

[WalkingOrders]

So many jumpers, luckily, there is always a single witness at the ready.

Supposedly an Italian guy, broken heart, the usual stuff.  RIP.

What ever happened to the good old days when people jumped from condos?

Will Thais stop going to that particular mall? You know -- the G word.

It has nothing to do with this Mall. People looking for such an end are very desperate and at the same time very brave. I think to be desperate is one thing but to be brave is an other. I don't know if there are people never thinking about the ultimate power they have - killing themselves - but I am afraid there might be many - scared. I will never blame one who did. He took a location outside where not so many people get a shock. There are children and people not coping with such a situation and result easily inside the mall.

Are we sure he is dead?  That Girl who "fell" over the 5th floor balcony railing lived.

I just don't get the drama. If I was to kill myself it would be a very low key affair, not a display of my dead body for possibly a child to witness. I guess the jumpers are not thinking of anyone but themselves at the time..

Pattaya = Half the jumpers go unreported. There will be another by morning. So common place its boring news. Plane loads arriving daily. Get involved with booze find bar girl and jump.

How long? Is she still alive and can tell us her story so that we can stop here to create our own? But even if - how can we be sure that she is not lying? To me the main question is - why do we entertain us with such bad stories? Why don't we look on our own life? Is it so imperfect that we don't want to look at it? And if so - why don't we stop looking? Why don't we at least try to change anything? I know from my personal experience - it might be a hard and stony way with uncertain outcome.

Words of wisdom.  I was travelling along second road just past CF when I heard about this guy jumping. 

I was watching 4 thai ladies working on the flood control project as construction laborers. 

They were talking and laughing and smiling as they worked out in the heat. 

Just reminded me again that enjoying life is a simple thing no matter who you are or what you do

Also everyday day or week...its just the way it goes here...its boring to ready now.  First few reports of jumpers was a big deal, now if I don't hear one jumping I am disappointed as though something is wrong....

Yes thats also how I live, I will never understand the mental state of those people who wants to finish it just like that, except if they have a terminal disease and in lots of pain. 

My life is more important than any wife, girlfriend, money or whatever reason they choose to end it.

I want to smell the fresh air when I wake up, not death.

[wisperone]

Sorry for the guy. Once again, terrible way to go.

I can almost understand teenagers who get so depressed over being dumped because they see it as the end of the world, and haven't developed coping mechanisms yet in some cases. But for a adult who has managed to get to 60 years, and feels that life is not living over a gf giving him the boot, (if that is in fact the case), I just don't understand that. Our time here is so short, and once one hits 60, they begin to realize it... so why end it like that? RIP

Yeah, but surely there was more to the story than that, at least in that guy's head.

yes it could be many things. we don't know his medical history. or financial situation. and he could have really loved her and felt alone with some huge other problem. no money no honey. 

 

maybe he had to report to immigration soon. that would do it.

Probably true and now perhaps we can say that Central Mall, the Golden Gate Bridge of Pattaya.

That can put any sane person over the line.

suicide among middle aged men is skyrocketing. i think divorce in the west can be very difficult for men, who often lose relationship with children. also, women are better at seeking support from friends, etc. in thailand, when what looked like a second chance is taken away, things can get ugly i suppose. even anthony bourdain, who was rich, well respected, famous, and attractive for his age, couldnt deal with his much younger girlfriend cheating. it is a shame people are not more spiritual; earthly desires might seem less important.

I was more spiritual in California during the 80 and 90's, now I am making up for lost time.

It's not about the age but maturity. I and others could have a GF/wife leave and find a replacement in no time. Others can't handle the loss. Some guys don't deal well with people and when they come to Thailand have a beutiful young girl tell  them they are handsome and love them they are happier than they have ever been in their life and when the girl takes them for everything they have and walks away they don't think they will ever be that happy again. They can't handel the loss/rejection and maybe the realization they have been a fool. The pain is deep

Agree,have been through 2 divorces,and now a seperation from my wife,of 3 years due to her infidlity with a Thai man,very down for a few weeks,now have found a new girl pain has gone,pretty casual at present but it is so true that the best way to get over a broken heart ,is find a new girl.
