A 36-year-old Russian national has died after jumping from the roof of a villa in the Nai Harn area of Phuket while reportedly under the influence of alcohol.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 15:50 on 19 July, when Chalong Police Station received an emergency call from their operations centre reporting that a foreigner had fallen from the roof of a villa inside the NBC Nai Harn condominium complex in Rawai subdistrict, near Nai Harn Beach.

 

Police investigator Pol. Lt. Kiangkrai Daokrachai, together with officers from Chalong Police Station, medical staff from Vachira Phuket Hospital, and volunteers from the Kusoldharm Foundation, rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless body of a man identified as Mr Khushang Bakiev, a Russian national. He was found naked, lying in a pool of blood on the ground beneath the villa.

 

According to witnesses, including a close friend of the deceased who was present at the scene, Mr Bakiev had been heavily intoxicated and was acting in a highly agitated and irrational manner. At one point, he allegedly assaulted a friend without clear provocation. As others attempted to calm him down, he fled upstairs and climbed onto the roof of the villa, from which he ultimately jumped to his death.

 

Preliminary examination by forensic staff from Vachira Phuket Hospital confirmed multiple injuries consistent with a fall from height. His body has been transferred to the hospital for a full autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

 

Chalong police have informed the Russian embassy in Bangkok, who will now contact the deceased’s next of kin to arrange the repatriation of his body and religious rites.

 

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident remains ongoing.
