Elderly German Woman “jumps” off Jomtien Condominium

PATTAYA: -- On Friday Morning Police and rescue workers were called to a 5-storey Condominium in Jomtien where a 75 year old German woman was reported to have jumped to her death.

The incident occurred at the Majestic Jomtien Condominium just before 9am. Officers arrived and inspected the body of Mrs. Frieder Hornsteiner aged 75. Close-by was her Husband Mr. Dulof Hornsteiner who is now living with his Thai Wife, Khun Yupa. Despite this the three live together and Khun Yupa told Police that she cared for the victim who had severe mobility issues and other medical problems.

So sad.....RIP

What a horrible thing to go thru. For everybody involved.

These poor people should be able to take a pill when the time comes.

When are we going to face reality and face the facts, there is a time to check out.

Sad all around.

"...the body of Mrs. Frieder Hornsteiner aged 75. Close-by was her Husband Mr. Dulof Hornsteiner who is now living with his Thai Wife, Khun Yupa..."

There is the small chance that Yupa didn't want any "beneficiary competition" or sensible advice given to Dulof regarding transfer of assets. Perhaps now that she is out of the way, Dulof needs to watch his back, particularly out on the balcony.

Thailand is a very dangerous place with an excessively high number of violent deaths. I believe many deaths of foreigners with considerable assets are covered up here by the corrupt and complicit authorities.

severe mobility issues yet managed to shuffle over the balcony... She must have really wanted to check out

Very sad.

RIP

Very sad story RIP

Couldn't have been that immobile to manage to jump off the balcony.

The question that needs asking is which of the pair helped her over?

Sad. RIP.

There sure seems to be a lot of jumpers here in Thailand.

You couldn't make this up.

Police need to be looking at the Thai wife.

One post and a reply to it were removed

As they say 3's a crowd.

"Mr. Dulof Hornsteiner who is now living with his Thai Wife, Khun Yupa. Despite this the three live together and Khun Yupa told Police that she cared for the victim..." this is what one could call a motive.

I'm with joe on this one. When I'm sick of it all I want to go out on my terms like in the movie Soylent Green.

So sad that there is no public offer for help, when life becomes too painful to continue living!

Just another day in Pattaya then.

What? You want to be reprocessed as food for the poor?

The Majestic again. I used to live within eye-sight of this condo complex and despite only being 5 storeys high it seems to get more than the average number of victims, an old friend of ours being one of them. Sad news.

I am curious if they ever consider the fact that they might take another life that happens to be walking by. What is it with Pattaya and Phuket ? Do they have coverage for getting injured or killed by a falling body.

Maybe a bit confusing, a husband with two wives.

I would simply accept the Thai lady as a caretaker to the Geman woman.

Maybe the old man wasn't fully aware that this might be considered as bigamy, but it's over now.

RIP for the German woman.

She might have felt she's in the way.

I know these people, the wife was his sister, not his ex-wife.

Sad, but improbable, story.

I'm just here to watch the speculation.

She had a walking stick so obviously she could get around somewhat.

Look, when someone is desperate for whatever reason they can muster up one last burst of strength and collapsing over a mini balcony wouldn't be too difficult.

Poor lady, guess she had enough and another reason why people over 70 tired of living should be able to go somewhere to check out humanely.

Well, that makes more sense.

Pattaya One, Thai journalism at it's best.

RIP Mrs Hornsteiner.

Makes this story rather suspicious... What is this thing in Thailand with so many people jumping of balconies? The railing standards are set lower? Or it is a trendy way to make the headlines?

Are you calling me a Russian?
