Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Quite obviously a suicide?

Re: American Charles F Harris Jumps from Sokha Hotel's 6th F
Might be suicide by Russian mafia (it's a popular way to die down in Pattaya I hear)? But he picked the right floor to jump from... they say go above the 19th floor to ensure a proper splat mark rather than shattered bones and paralysis.

Worked high rise construction for 25 years. 3 floors ( 10 mts) and you will die, except in exceptional circumstances, is the rule of thumb we all work by.TheGrinchSR wrote:Might be suicide by Russian mafia (it's a popular way to die down in Pattaya I hear)?

Re: American Charles F Harris Jumps from Sokha Hotel's 6th F
Which is a good rule of thumb according to a lot of sources but Wiki finds that - Overall, the height at which 50% of children die from a fall is between four and five storey heights above the ground - which is 15 meters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall#Surviving_fallsHotdigr wrote:Worked high rise construction for 25 years. 3 floors ( 10 mts) and you will die, except in exceptional circumstances, is the rule of thumb we all work by.TheGrinchSR wrote:Might be suicide by Russian mafia (it's a popular way to die down in Pattaya I hear)?

And the furthest anyone has ever fallen to ground and survived is over 33,000 feet! Which makes 10 meters look like a doddle. Though falls from more than about 1,500 feet result in the same level of impact with the ground as terminal velocity has been reached by then.

Re: American Charles F Harris Jumps from Sokha Hotel 20th Fl
No way in hell I'd jump from a 3rd floor to kill myself! It would likely be a slow death compared to 10 stories+.
Surviving a jump would be terrible and probably make me suicidal all over again.
