very suspicious,  43yrs old is not old,  they found drugs in his room but drugs don't make you jump from your balcony. 

They need to look at CCTV and verify who went into the room last and what time they came out.  

 

 

RIP poor guy.

 

thats a wild assumption, you have no idea of any of the circumstances, drugs, alcohol, depression, mental issues, health issues, only the brief info given. but straight away go for  'suspicious'

[Jingthing]

This is really a mystery.

he did scream "Russians are coming!" Didn't he?

All these people falling from the sky reminds me of the old song  "Its falling men"!!

The story omits details about whether he checked in alone.

Yeah but greater chance of not dying instantly. If it was the 2nd floor would people be thinking suicide?

Why is it nobody ever falls from a second floor balcony?

They do, but no-one dies so it's not making the news. My Mate fell out of a 3 story window...luckily only sprained his ankle (some say because he was so pissed his body stayed relaxed for impact)

Drunk or stoned

Not really. The likelihood is his departure day back to his cesspool of a  home country was soon approaching and he decided this was the better option.

Tuesday morning after a fall from the seventh floor of a hotel in Pattaya

Last night, 10pm, my friend was Central Mall Pattaya, sitting outside, beach side, lower section.

 

A foreigner landed beside him, DEAD. 

 

Can't find any information on the internet, nothing.

Looks like they are keeping these jumping incidents quiet.

I posted a picture of the scene earlier in the thread, it was at the rear of the building, maybe that is why security did not notice the fall.

[No Forwarding Address]

Guess it still needs to be said - whatever reason he passed on to the next world - RIP to the Young American.🙏

[NowNow]

Not sure what happened to my post. I hope that wasn't the 'off topic' post referred to earlier.

A ex-soldier bounty hunter who travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan to kill Osama Bin Laden and is later found dead from an apparent fall might be considered 'on-topic'.

I guess you'll need to search for the LA Weekly article yourselves.

That's possible, but it's not unheard of sleeping securitu guards.
