A 42-year-old Thai man has died after jumping from the top of an abandoned eight-storey building near the Makro wholesale store in Phuket on the evening of 12 April.

 

At approximately 20:45 the Kusoldharm Foundation in Phuket received an emergency call reporting that someone had jumped from a disused high-rise structure located adjacent to the Makro complex in the city.

 

Volunteers from the Kusoldharm rescue team were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless body of a Thai man, identified only as Boy, lying with his body smashed onto a low wall at ground level, after a fatal jump. Despite the rapid response, the man was found to have suffered severe head trauma from the impact and showed no signs of life.

 

The building, which has long stood abandoned, is known to locals and authorities as a frequent location for trespassing and occasional reports of accidents or suspicious activity.

 

At this stage, the full identity of the deceased has not been publicly released, and the circumstances leading to the event are under investigation. Police are working to determine whether foul play was involved or whether the fall was a result of suicide.

 

If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help.
