British man with depression falls to death from condo in Pattaya

A British man became yet another statistic of the insensitively named “Pattaya Flying Club” after he fell to his death at a condominium in the popular seaside resort. His Thai caretaker said the deceased had been depressed after losing his Thai boyfriend.

Officers at Mueang Pattaya Police Station were notified at 7am today, October 20, of the death of an 89 year old British man named Frederick Keith Adamson. The man reportedly jumped from the balcony of his room in a condo on Soi Pra Tamnak 4.

Upon arrival, officers discovered Adamson’s body on the ground near the outdoor pool on the 5th floor of the condominium. He was wearing only his underwear and his body was covered in blood. Adamson had a wound on his head and right leg.

Adamson’s Thai caretaker, 57 year old Anansit, told police he was not in the room when the incident occurred. He left Adamson alone in the room and later discovered the tragic scene.
