webfact Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 British man dies after falling from Udon Thani hotel Picture: 77Jowo UDON THANI: -- A British man fell to his death from a hotel in Udon Thani early on Wednesday morning. The body of Stuart Railton, 54, was found in the car park of the Top Mansion Hotel in Muang district just after 4.45am. A security guard said that Mr Railton had been been staying at the hotel since March 4 and seemed to be acting normally when he returned from a trip at around 3.20pm on Tuesday, 77Jowo reported. The security guard reported later hearing a thumping noise and told police that he momentarily thought the wall in the car park had collapsed. It wasn’t until he went outside that he saw the body of Mr Railton in the car park. Police investigating searched Mr Railton’s 4th floor room, where they found the door unlocked and no sign of a struggle. Police said they also found medication in the room and empty beer bottles and an amount of urine on the balcony. Police said they are working on the theory that Mr Railton was drunk and fell while trying to urinate from the balcony. Mr Railton’s body has been sent to Udon Thani hospital for post mortem to establish an official cause of death. Police are continuing to investigate the incident. The British Embassy has been informed. Source: 77Jowo -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-03-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 He could've been sleep walking, or got up to use the loo and was disorientated, found the balcony not the loo, he's only been at the hotel for 10 days, I hate staying in new places, I always get up in the night for a Jimmy due to one or two too many beers and have trouble locating the bog, these days I leave a light on in the bathroom and the door slightly ajar. RIP sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well calling someone an alcoholic, when you know nothing about them is pretty low. Stewie Railton liked a drink, but was not an alcoholic. Prior to retirement, Stewie was a Finance Chief for Lancashire Police. He had been living in Pattaya for around a year and loved his life in LoS. I only met him a few times, but I have a mate who is cop and who knows him well. RIP Stewie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I have just read some of the other posts in this thread, all I can say is that there are some very ignorant, uncouth and despicable people on here, those of you that thought you were making smart arsed replies should really be ashamed of yourselves, a poor man has died in what I can only attribute to a terrible accident and you make smarmy replies, you know who you are, hang your heads in shame and have some compassion for a fellow human being.<removed> At that time of the morning, if I get up to visit the John I often lean against the wall while peeing as my eyes are half shut and I'm still half in the land of nod, I can just see this guy in my head trying to lean on a wall that wasn't there. Once again, RIP sir, <removed> Edited March 15, 2017 by CharlieH "flame" removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yeah! That´s why I always use the toilet! It´s just like a house of cards in this country. If one falls everybody else follows suite.

NextStationBangkok Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 RIP Even I like big open place to pee, but not be found in big cities. Time to setup proper urinals in in Balconies if someone like airy place for a relief.... One of my friend even setup a shower in balcony, he would like to shower in open area humming a song. There are number of balconies in Thailand, having low fencing walls, even dangerous for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
