Patong Police received a report at 2:45am that the 35-year-old German had fallen from the 3rd floor balcony of his room at Kalim Resort.

“At the scene we found the man, dressed in a striped shirt and white underpants, lying unconscious on the cement floor at the side of the resort,” said Patong Police Duty Officer Thawatchai Srimai.

“His arms and back were broken and blood was flowing from a head wound,” said Lt Thawatchai.

The German was taken to Patong Hospital and later transferred to the better equipped Vachira Phuket Hospital.

Staff at Vachira Hospital confirmed to the Phuket Gazette late this morning that the German has a blood clot in his brain and is in the intensive care unit (ICU), on life support with a feeding tube.

Inside the man's room, Police found an unaddressed letter which said, “I am dead, come with me in paradise. I love you with all my heart. Kiss…”

The Gazette is withholding the name until relatives or next of kin have been informed.

35 and a whole life ahead for him and he decides to jump it... Pretty sad.

RIP 35-year-old German.

On that starry, starry night,

You took your life, as lovers often do.

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one

As beautiful as you.

Let`s not jump to conclusions;the man is still alive from what we know.Sad story whatever the outcome.

At least three farangs in 3 days (Auusie, japanese German) who have apparently fallen for the wrong type of Thai girl (or ladyboy) and topped themselves.

drunk?

Why use the word "tumbles" in the headline? Jumps, dives, leaps, maybe plummets but it was not a tumble.

There is no evidence the man jumped. If one wants to kill himself, a 3rd floor balcony is not where you jump from.

I know it is hard to believe but sometimes people do fall accidently. We owe t to the injured man not to speculate and damage his reputation.

I doubt he has written that letter after he accidently stumbled from the balcony.

Hard for me to reconcile the 'tumbles' headline = an accidental fall, and the letter left.

Quite so, Watson, but an even bigger mystery is:

“Staff at Vachira Hospital confirmed to the Phuket Gazette late this morning that the German has a blood clot in his brain and is in the intensive care unit (ICU), on life support with a feeding tube.

The Gazette is withholding the name of the deceased until relatives or next of kin have been informed.”

Why keep a dead man on ICU and drip?
