British man dies during Massage at Central Pattaya shop

PATTAYA: -- An 81 year old British National died at a Central Pattaya Massage Shop on Thursday afternoon.

Police and medics were called to the Orra Massage Shop on Soi Baukhao and were directed to one of the massage rooms. Lying on the bed was the body of Mr. Adriano Santarelli aged 81. It is thought he died less than 15 minutes before medics arrived.

An inspection of the room and body showed no obvious signs of foul play. Khun Nutapassorn aged 50 told Police that she was administering massage to his arm when he began to convulse and then he stopped breathing.

Not a very happy ending

someone had to say it :0)

Sounds like he died comfortable and happy. Definately worse ways to go. You had a good innings and walk away with a smile on your face.

[Thai at Heart]

Oh please. RIP

But really. Pure monty python....

Headline should read British Man dies a non-violent or suspicious death in Pattaya.

Should help with tourist numbers.

If I make it to 80+ thats how i wouldn't mind going , hopefully some warm oil and a pretty smile looking at him.

[TomYumpoochai]

Maybe it was an assisted suicide?....well, there were 2 people in the room.

If i get to 81 then lying on my back with a woman giving me massage would be a pleasant ending.

What a way to go

[CraigSchuler]

RIP.....But how lucky was this guy?.........I could only hope my last breath was taken in the same fashion!

Good ending of life. Even though death can be tragic, his family will know he died happy and peacefully - and the body was taken care of right away.

I am convinced this gentleman will rest in peace.

[ezzra]

This would probably be classified as the most relaxing massage you'll ever get... sooooo relaxing....

[WhamBam]

80+ years is a good innings. I hope he had lived the life he wanted.

[Briggsy]

I was in the area and can add the local Thais' gossip. He arrived on his motorbike. There were a lot of medicine bottles on his bike. All the other details in the story tally with the local tittle tattle.

That is why I have always advocated the "happy beginning."

If I had passed on during my visit this week to a Pattaya massage parlour the story would have been different

[Jip99]

Good old English name.

[Cpkt8]

Nice way to go. RIP...

Much much better than suicide, accident or other painful ways of dying.

[luckyman]

Beautifull way to go....!

[Billy The Kid]

81 is a great innings , if I wanted to die , I like this one rather than die in a lonely bed . RIP to Adriano .

[arminbkk]

Comfortable happy end?

Some seem to have missed the part that the massage lady was 50 and he was convulsing.

But yeah, there are worse ways to go.

A number of posts removed. Poor taste, pathetic attempts at humor etc.

A man has died, please show a little respect and keep your "humor" for the bar.

[Jim walker]

RIP Mr Santarelli sincere condolences to your family and friends if you are going to go just as well in Thailand getting a relaxing massage when your time is up and go happy with a smile on your face.

[maidee]

RIP to the gentleman.
