German found dead at his South Pattaya apartment

PATTAYA:--A German resident was found dead in his South Pattaya apartment on Thursday. Mr. Siegfried Kosbue aged 56 was found on the balcony of his 3^rd floor apartment at the PK Apartments in Soi Sukhumvit 79.

An electric cable from an extension plug was tied around his neck with the other end tied to his Air-Conditioning compressor unit. A forensic Doctor was called to the scene and it was determined he had been dead for at least 2 days. The owner of the apartment confirmed Mr. Kosbue had occupied the room for only 6 days and for the last 2 days music has been played in the room through a Laptop Computer and the back door to the apartment, leading to the balcony, had remained open, which caused concern.

No evidence of a disturbance was found in the room but Police did notice bottles of Thai Whisky and a half-empty glass of whisky next to Mr. Kosbue on a table and determined that Mr. Kosbue had a Thai Wife and the pair had lived together in Suphanburi Province for the last 3 years. Recently the pair split after Mr. Kosbue allegedly attacked his step-son and with the threat of Police action over him, he decided to travel to Pattaya to live.

Died from an electric shock?

Died from an electric shock?

Difficult to comprehend from the way of reporting, but I doubt the extension cord around his neck was there to prevent him from falling of the balcony.

I thought the Pattya one editor was a foreigner.
