I cannot wait to hear the explanation for this death. Stranger and stranger balcony falls. RIP the dead guy.

Maybe one of the Thai visa detective inspector's can tell us exactly what (may or may not) of happened...

Most likely their drinks where spiked.........................Drink spiking is apparantly endemic on this island .

Solved! The man pushed the wife off the balcony then he strangled himself. By using his toes, he tightened the nose, a la yoga upside down chinese kung <deleted> killer cricket style and then threw himself upside down so that he landed right side up.

I bees good!!

I bet the room was plundered for valuables by either the hotel staff, the self-appointed rescue workers or definitely the cops if the others didn't get in there first.

PHUKET: -- A Chinese tourist has died after falling from the second-floor balcony of a Phuket Town hotel this morning while bleeding heavily from deep lacerations.

Jiang Chengyuem, 42, left a suicide note behind before leaping from The Pago hotel balcony with cuts across her throat, wrists, chest and stomach, said Phuket City Police Deputy Superintendent Prawit Engchuan.

Chinese tourists who were part of Ms Jiang’s tour group gave police a rough translation of the text: “We’ll be together forever. Even though you have gone, I will be with you.”

Ms Jiang was rushed to Vachira Phuket Hospital for treatment, but pronounced dead at about 3pm, Col Prawit told the Phuket Gazette.

Inside Ms Jiang’s room, Phuket City Police found the body of Li Ming, 41.

“The room had two twin beds. The bed with the body of Mr Li in it was soaked with blood,” Col Prawit explained. “We found blood on the walls and floor too.”

Mr Li’s face was blue. It is likely that he was smothered, Col Prawit said.

Also in the room police found shards of wine glass, a broken lamp, sleeping pills and several unidentified drugs.

Police believe that Mr Li had been dead for over 10 hours by the time officers arrived.

Ms Jiang and Mr Li were travelling with other Chinese tourists in Phuket and were expected to leave for China tomorrow.

“The group stayed in Patong the night before, and checked into the hotel at about 9pm last night,” Col Prawit said.

Police are continuing their investigation.

Wife did it and wanted to join him, feeling guilty.

RIP

For goodness sake, what ever the reason it is a tragedy - not a joke!

Not sure about the rest but, the "tightened nose" shoulda' done the trick

Nice to see that some posters get a big kick out of this.

Your theory then ?

Don't leave it all up to us eh..............

People have always been cynical and apathetic toward strangers... we just didn't reach out full potential until the internet came along.

Another suicide ? again. Actually the balcony jumping thing happens here in Sydney also, don't they know humans cannot fly,, take my word for it,, i've tried and i cannot fly, all i got was a mouthfull of sand but i was only 9 years old.

If Miss Marple were around, she would have pinned it on one or more of the other members of the Chinese tour group by now. Unfortunately the Thai cops just asked them what the note said and they got off the hook. Actually the note really said, "The guy in seat C3 on the tour bus did it."

What a very sad story. Even sadder because of the suicide note: "We’ll be together forever. Even though you have gone, I will be with you."

Being an antitheist, I feel very sorry for anybody who believes in an afterlife.

Looks like he was smothered by a 3rd party. Perhaps the womans lover? Then in her fright she jumps over the balcony to escape

Nonsense. She left a suicide note explaining events. Widely reported in the Thai language newspapers.
