British tourist survives fall from hotel balcony into internet café

[reader]

From Pattaya Mail

The Pattaya City Rescue Center received a report of a person falling from a height with injuries at a hotel, located in Nongprue, Banglamung, at 2:06 AM on November 4. Upon receiving the report, rescue volunteers swiftly responded to the scene.

At the location, tourists and locals were in a state of panic. Rescuers discovered the lower half of 51-year-old Mr. Paul Hadfield from England dangling through the ceiling of an internet café, calling for help. The rescue team worked together to lift him from the roof, provided first aid, and quickly transported him to a nearby hospital. It was determined that he had fallen from the hotel’s second-floor balcony, crashing through the café’s ceiling.

Fatal fall from Pattaya hotel

A tragic scene unfolded at a hotel on Sukhumvit Road, Na Jomtien when a shocking accident saw a man fatally fall to his death. At precisely 9.50pm on November 2, Police Colonel Watthanachai Saengrit, the head honcho of Na Jomtien Police Station, received the alarming news.

Wasting no time, he dashed to the scene, joined by medics from Wat Yan Sangwararam Hospital and the prompt Sattahip Rescue Foundation.

Upon arrival, the police and emergency services were met with a distressing sight: a 52 year old Thai man, known only as Komkansorn lay sprawled on the ground, his condition critical.

Clad in a black short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts, his body bore the brutal evidence of his fall: severe facial wounds, a nasty head gash, and both legs twisted and shattered beyond recognition, with a pool of blood marking the tragic spot.

Pattaya Mail reported that friends of the ill-fated guest painted a grim picture of the hours leading to the horrific event. They disclosed he was in town attending a seminar and had been enjoying drinks.

Rushed to Chon Buri Hospital, hopes were dim, and sadly, the injuries were insurmountable. The news broke today that he had succumbed to the severe trauma.
