Community Man Falls to His Death from Fifth-Floor Balcony in Mysterious Circumstances in Samut Prakan
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 60-year-old man fell to his death from the fifth floor of a state housing complex in Samut Prakan under unclear circumstances, just days before his planned retirement. The incident occurred at around 18:50 on 27 May at Building 53 of the Praeksa 2 Eua-Arthorn housing project, located in Praeksa Mai subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Prakan Province. Police officers from Bang Pu Police Station, along with rescue personnel from Praeksa Mai Municipal Rescue and Ruamkusol Foundation, were dispatched to the scene following an emergency call. At the rear of the building, officers discovered the body of Mr. Suprom Lomdee, 60, a native of Phana District in Amnat Charoen Province. He was found lying on his side, severely injured with a laceration to his chin and a fractured neck. He had apparently fallen from his flat on the fifth floor, room number 653/37. Inside his apartment, no signs of a struggle or disturbance were found. His shoes were discovered removed and placed neatly near the balcony, from where he is believed to have fallen. According to eyewitnesses, he appeared to have climbed out, hanging dangerously from the rear balcony moments before the fall. One resident in a neighbouring building, Mr. Supachai Paisonthi, 31, told reporters that he had just returned from work when he noticed the man hanging precariously from the balcony. “I shouted to ask what he was doing, but he seemed unable to hold on. I ran to get help from the building manager, but by the time they arrived, he was already lying on the ground,” he said. “At first, he was still breathing.” Another witness, Ms. Donlaya Wongwien, 30, explained that she had been alerted by someone who noticed the man in distress. “I didn’t know him personally as we live in different buildings, but someone called me to take a look. When I arrived, he had already fallen. I called the rescue team, but it was too late.” The deceased was known to live alone, friends and family arrived at the scene shortly after the incident. His colleagues, including his supervisor, described him as a respected and long-serving employee with no known conflicts at work. “We were supposed to have a farewell party for him today, to mark his retirement at the end of the month,” one colleague said. “But it was postponed due to flooding. He never caused any trouble and was well-liked. We’re all in shock.” The cause of the fall remains unclear and police are continuing their investigation to determine whether it was accidental or if other factors may have contributed. No evidence of foul play has been found so far. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-29. -
