A 35 year old Russian man has died after jumping from the top of a 6 storey pagoda at Chalong Temple. The Phuket Express reports that friends of the man say they believe he was hallucinating after “drinking water mixed with an unknown substance”.

 

At around 5.20pm on Friday, July 7, Chalong police and rescue workers were notified that a man had climbed to the top of a pagoda at Wat Chaithararam, Phuket’s most famous temple at Wat Chalong.

 

It’s understood the man spent several hours threatening to jump, while police, rescue workers, even the Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew, tried to persuade him to come down. A ladder was produced as the authorities continued to negotiate with the Russian man, and a large inflatable mattress was also placed on the ground.

He didn't climb on top. There's pass to get to that "patio", nothing special. 

Nope, he didn't jump. He was assisted by "rescue" workers who had no any "rescue" background. For 4 hours he didn't jump, but when "rescue team" approached...

Nope, his "friends" did not say that. It was local official woman who said that "his friends blah blah .... high".

 

So the whole story is just a bunch of rumors and insinuations. 

PS: don't really care, just an example of modern journalism.
