A 28-year-old woman tragically fell to her death from the eighth floor of a condominium in Khlong Tamru, Mueang District, Chonburi, on the morning of 29 December.

 

Police from Mueang Chonburi Station were notified of the incident at approximately 10:00 and rushed to the scene alongside rescue workers. The victim, identified as Ms. A was found lifeless on the ground below the building. Her injuries included a fractured arm and a severe head trauma.

 

Ms. B a close friend and roommate of the deceased, was visibly distraught upon discovering her friend’s body. She had reportedly come downstairs after hearing commotion outside, only to be met with the shocking sight of her roommate’s lifeless body.

 

Ms. B told authorities that both she and the victim had shared an apartment on the eighth floor of the condominium. She recalled waking up to use the bathroom that morning and noticed nothing unusual. However, upon returning, she realised her friend was no longer in the room. Moments later, she overheard people talking in alarm from below, prompting her to investigate.

 

Through tears, Ms. B expressed her shock and disbelief, saying she had never been aware of her friend having any personal problems or showing signs of stress.

 

Police have launched a detailed investigation into the incident. They are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the condominium to determine the circumstances leading to the fall. Ms. B has also been invited for further questioning to shed light on the events leading up to the tragedy.

 

Authorities are working to rule out any foul play and clarify whether the fall was suicide, accidental or the result of other factors.
