Russian man found dead in Pattaya condominium room

Pattaya, Chon Buri - A Russian man was found dead in a Condominium room in this seaside town early Tuesday, police said.

The man was identified as Kiporen Igor, 48. His body was found at 1:20 am in a room on the 14th floor of Paradise Condominium on Soi Jomthien 16 in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district.

He suffered cuts from shattered mirrors on his hands and feet. The mirror of a desk beside his deck was shattered.

Police suspected that the man drank beer and accidentally hit his head with the mirror, causing it to shatter and his hands and feet were cut by the shards before he lost consciousness and die of extensive bleeding.

Seems like a most logical conclusion by the police.........if you substitute vodka for beer and intentionally rather than "accidentally" hit himself with the mirror ?

[Pattaya28]

That's a new 1 for Pattaya.

A "mirror attack".

How can a mirror attack all 4 extremities ? His hands and feet would have been some distance apart.

There was a similar case a couple of years ago.

The police are amazing the way they can create a story to explain the accident.

His hands and feet were cut nut not his head which hit the mirror?

The Bibs must sit around all day with a bottle of scotch just coming up with these stories ... unbelieavable ... "The Attack of the Killer Mirrors" Condolenses to victims family !

This man most likely has a family looking for answers.

Dodgy!

Sounds a little suspect to me

[Greenhill]

I think it's unnecessary to put 'Russian' in every headline these days!! Whether it's m/c accidents, robberies etc., it's always Russians as they seem to be the only non-Asian group who are here??!!

Wait until they do the reconstruction and the pointing photos....

This is a very brief news story, with minimal information. Speculation and conjecture seems to be the overwhelming beverage of choice for the self appointed detectives.

Their private source of information is most likely the open end of a beer bottle accompanied by a willing, but blurred keyboard.

RIP my Russian friend.

angry ghost in the mirror ?

Pardon me, but the only speculation and conjecture forwarded has been that (reportedly )from the Police....surely you are not suggesting that their vivid imagination was nurtured or influenced in any way by alcohol consumption ?

[Frank James]

Sounds like the opening sequence to "Apocalypse Now". Only no MP's come to save Igor. R.I.P.

[Ulic]

Sounds like po po are getting pretty good at coming up with scenarios so the can label it death by misadventure

and keep it out of the murder/manslaughter category.

You are a very sad excuse for a person. I'm not Russian but show some bloody respect. RIP

Whilst I would agree that this could appear dodgy I have experience of just such an event in my guesthouse. An Australian gentleman, much the worse for wear, fell into the mirrored door of his wardrobe and cut himself very badly. He was fortunate that he was able to call his friend before loss of blood rendered him incapable. After the accident his room looked like the St Valentine's Day massacre had been re-enacted in there.

Should we leave absurd speculation and conjecture to the Police then?

[godden]

Mirror mirror on the wall who's the dumest of them all, R.I.P.

[socksy01]

On reflection (no pun intended) I wonder what causes of deaths here would be if there was a proper coroner cos half of what comes out seems like absolute crap to me

[cup-O-coffee]

Another "the police suspect" satire. To hell with forensics, CCTV inside and outside the scene of the crime, questioning possible witnesses and anything else.

Lunatics all; and disgusting at that!

Russia extends into Asia, so many Russians are Asian by birth, as are many Americans.

SO, IMHO, you turned an information word into an anti-Asian slur.

[cybertigrou]

so the mirror did not like him.
