PHUKET: -- A 47-year-old Australian expat fell down a flight of stairs to his death yesterday after a night spent at his bar in Phuket.

Adin Medzic had allegedly been drinking at his bar in the OTOP Market in Patong since 7pm Wednesday.

He and his Thai partner, Fon Somwong, left together after the bar closed, Maj Weerapong Raktito of the Patong Police told the Phuket Gazette.

“We were told that once the pair arrived home, Mr Medzic lost his balance and fell down the stairs, hitting his head,” Maj Weerapong explained.

“At about 1:50am, Ms Fon called 191 for help. Patong Hospital sent an ambulance to pick up Mr Medzic from the Chutima Apartments, but it was too late to save him.”

Mr Medzic was pronounced dead on arrival at Patong Hospital at about 2:10am.

What a shame. Living the life many foreigners would want and now only 47 years old and gone. RIP.

[eezergood]

Very sad, RIP budy

[NamKangMan]

I know what the article says, but just wondering what the actual cause of death may be. Heart attack, or similar, causing the fall, or the actual fall itself, causing him to hit his head.

Anyway, 47, way too young.

Condolences to family and friends.

How does lost his balance due to alcohol intoxication, fell down the stairs, expired due to blunt force trauma to the head sound? Does that work for you? ;-)

That was about time, I was already thinking what had become of Thaivisa.

A topic started 6 hours ago and not a single one who had suggested he was murdered. ( in absence of a sarcasm emoticon )

It is amazing. A death reported on Thai Visa without all sorts of innuendo, subtle and not so much.

Sorry that his relatively young life was ended whatever the reason and that he's left behind those who will be pained by his absence. Alcohol causes a lot of misery.

Don't be worth more dead than alive, friendly warning. By the way,Nice gold on her wrist. RIP

How do you know it was alcohol that caused his death ? Like op said it could have been a heart attack or even just fainting and then falling down the stairs and recieving the head injury resulting in death RIP

[laobali]

Plausible.

Maybe drinking since Wednesday caused the fall.

[smotherb]

so right you are, real Aussie names are more like Bernu, Daku, Akama, or Coorah

[LisuLover]

We will never see the deeds, the will, the life insurance or the bank accounts, so we will never know if an alternative motive is possible. We can only be sad for such an early departure.

Agree with you, but wait until 'ginjag' sees your comment about certain things being none of our business, he'll be all over you!

He could easily be a son or even a grandson of an immigrant . That doesn't make him less of an Aussie.

yes it bloody well is. How long have you been out of the country?

Just wondering if he died from natural causes, or from misadventure. That's all. I'm not suggesting any foul play.

It would be the questions his friends, family and insurance company would be asking.

Does that work for you????
