Finnish man falls to his death from condominium

BANGKOK: -- A Finnish man died in the early hours of this morning, Thursday 9 January 2014 from falling from the 28th floor of a condominium in Bangkok, reports Thai media.

Pol Lt Annop Sinsuebphol identified as Mika Uha Aalholm, 44, from Finland, the owner of the condominium Unit 791.

Police investigators from Bang Phlad Police Station found an unconscious Thai man, Pridi Boonmongkol, 41, who they said were visible drunk, beside Aalholm’s body. Pridi, with serious cuts on his left wrist, had been arguing in the apartment with Aalholm and broke a glass window in desperation after which the latter jumped from the balcony. Mr. Pridi had then rushed down to where Aalholm’s body landed, in a miniature garden on the 5th floor of luxury condo complex, where he passed out with grief.

Investigators questioned Sko Kallervo, 49, a Finnish partner who was married to Aalholm, in the room, where police found traces of blood believed to belong to the Thai man.

Kallervo said he had been living with Aalholm, a resident of Thailand, since Aalholm bought the condo in 2008. Kallervo said Aalholm had just been diagnosed with cancer and the Thai man had been keeping his company while he was off working as bartender on a cruise ship.

According to Kallervo, Pridi came back to the condo shortly before the incident intoxicated. Aalholm and Pridi then engaged in an argument during which Pridi put his left fist through the glass window. Then, according to Kallervo, Aalholm jumped off the balcony to his death.

Police investigators gathered evidence, but have yet to conclude definitively how Aalholm fell off the balcony.

How is it possible that so many people falling or jumping from their balconies here in Thailand...

Sounds very strange

[worgeordie]

Thailand the world hub for balcony flyer's,warnings need

to be posted at airports for tourists,I just wonder how many

a year meet this fate?.

RIP the flying Finn

regards Worgeordie

Balconies are very convenient for both suicide and murder. In the case of the former, it's a very cruel exit for those left behind.

[MaxLee]

I think that Pridi guy wanted more money, or discount or whatever. And when Mr. Alhom didn't comply, he just wanted to attack him in cold blood.

No blame on the Thai man, just blame the alcohol, for MAKING him do unusual violent confrontational actions, face saved and Falangs screwed again by the Thai nepotism system

My condolences for the Finnish victim for a tragic death....

This story is FISHY as it can.

I hope no-one believes this fairy tail bull-s-hit.

Anyway that's pretty sure the gay love is usually very very difficult with way-out jealousy.

RIP buddy.

Always this sh_t. The victim jumped. They should come up with a new childish story once in a while.

The names have probably suffered through transliteration, sound vaguely Finnish with missing letters. The Sko Kallervo could be Esko Kalervo, which would make him a man.

ScandAsia must have some one reading the police reports in Thai or calling the station directly, that's how the stories get all screwed up.

This is going to sound rather controversial and what I'm about to say may draw fire here.

Raise the minimum top bar height on balcony safety rails.

I swear many of these are not suicides nor are they murders. Many of these tragedies are I believe, accidents. Balconies tend to be places people consume alcohol or go to after consuming alcohol. The effects of alcohol on the human condition are well documented and I have no need to summarise these.

Caucasian people are often much taller than Asian people. Safety design does not necessarily take into account this difference.

Yes, terrible translation.

44, just a kid. Very sad...

[kurtgruen]

Hmmm....foreigners "jumping" off balconies, in the presence of another person, is almost as common as men having their private parts severed with a knife and fed to the ducks, in this Country.

Funny thing is, it's usually not, how most foreigners choose to die, in the land of smiles.

[pacovl46]

Wow!!! Just unbelievable!!!

And those standing directly below the balcony.

I am sorry the poor man was unable to cope with life or unable to deal with balconies, but the Thai Visa conspiracy theorists are like annoying children.

As I've said many times before, incoming flights from Europe should be mandated to show videos on how to use balconies and the meaning of the up and down buttons on elevators/lifts.

It is not their fault, but Europeans seem genetically challenged when it comes to using either. And of course the Thai Visa conspiracy theorists will latch onto anything to further their belief that farangs never die unless at the hand of some nefarious Thai.
