An Asian man fell from a condominium tower in Pattaya, landing on a wall below that tore his body apart, early on Wednesday morning.
The gruesome discovery was reported to Pattaya City police about 12.30am, Pol Lt Col Sutheeraphan Thapsri, a chief investigator, said.
The condominium complex consists of three buildings: Tower A with 44 floors, Tower B with 32 floors, and Tower C with 7 floors. The body was discovered between Towers A and B. The dead man was believed to be an Asian male aged 30 to 40 years and was found wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.
His falling body landed on top of the condo wall, which split it into upper and lower halves and scattered his internal organs across the road.
Police investigators had yet to confirm which floor of which building he fell from. (continues below)
A witness reported hearing a loud thud, as though an object had landed violently on the ground. On investigating, he found the man’s body in its gruesome condition.
Investigators did find cigarette butts on the 32nd floor rooftop balcony of Tower C and traces indicating someone may have been sitting on the ledge.
The investigation was ongoing.
