webfact Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The search resumed Wednesdayin the seas around Koh Pha-ngan, in Thailand’s southern province of Surat Thani, for a German tourist who jumped into the sea from a double-decked ferry last night, as it was heading for Koh Samui. The skipper of the ferry reportedly told the police that the boat had left Koh Pha-ngan less than 20 minutes before a passenger, later identified as German national Florain Storz, who was travelling with his wife, stood up and threw himself overboard from the second deck on the starboard of the vessel. The incident was reported by the skipper to the police on Koh Pha-ngan and a sea search was immediately mounted. It continued until 10.30pm, when it was suspended due to rough seas and lack of light. Marine and tourist police, local officials and the private sector on Koh Pha-ngan are taking part in the effort to find him.

Gottfrid Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That a person just throw himself overboard is really strange. However, I don´t see the point looking for him, as he did it out of free will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reports from witnesses and then there's your thinly-veiled conspiracy theory. Do you have evidence of it being something more sinister?

As there was no indication of any sarcasm in your post, I presumed you were suggesting that his death could be compared to those odd balcony deaths.

Stargeezr Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It takes 3 to 4 days for the body to float back to the surface. I imagine that unless currents affect his travels, he will be spotted shortly by passing boats and ships and ferries. In My Opinion anyway.

Tropicalevo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 There is usually little follow up on stories, but I have just read in a Phuket news outlet that the poor man's body has been found. The body was identified by a tattoo. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
