Thaivisa News Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Pattaya, Chon Buri:- A 57-year-old Norwegian tourist was saved from drowning in a swimming of a Pattaya hotel Wednesday afternoon. The Sawang Boribun Thammasathan Foundation's emergency center was alerted of the accident at 3:30 pm. The center was informed that a foreigner became unconscious after he sank into the bottom of the swimming pool of the Momento Beach Resort Hotel on Soi 8 off Thepprasit Road in Tambon Nongplua of Chong Buri's Bang Lamung district. Rescuers of the foundation rushed to the scene and found Terie Biordal, 57, lying unconsciously on the edge of the swimming pool of the hotel. His pulse was weak. The rescuers performed first aid for him and rushed him to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital. Phakin Nawiset, 34, a worker of the hotel, told police that he was tending plants near the swimming pool when the accident happened. He said he saw Biordal drinking in front of his room No 5 near the swimming pool. Phakin said the Norwegian man then walked to a bridge over the pool, which is 2.5-meter-high, and plunged down into the pool. Phakin said the man did not come up from the water but he lay still at the bottom of the pool. The worker said he jumped into the water and pulled the Norwegian man to the surface of the water. He then shouted for help from nearby guests to help pull Biordal out of the water. Phakin said he then called the foundation to help send the man to a hospital.

FireMedic Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If you are drunk and jump off a board into the water and don't come up, it's from a head or neck injury. Hope the best for the guy, but likely a bad outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
