Kiwi suicide from 20 floors, Patong hotel.
NZ man plunges 20 floors to death in Patong
Thursday 29 December 2016, 11:02AM
PHUKET: A 55-year-old New Zealand man was found dead behind a hotel in Patong before dawn this morning (Dec 29), the victim of an apparent suicide after falling 20 floors from his hotel room, say police.
Security at the Royal Paradise Hotel notified police of the man’s death at 4:10am, after Patong Municipality garbage collectors found the man’s crumpled body behind the hotel.
The man checked into the hotel alone on Tuesday (Dec 27), said Maj Theerasak Boonsang of the Patong Police.
“We checked the hotel CCTV and the man* returned to the hotel alone at 3:11am,” Maj Theerasak said.
“He took the elevator to the 20th floor and entered his room unaccompanied. There were no signs of fighting in the room and it seems that nothing has been stolen,” he added.
“We will investigate this further, but at this stage we believe the man committed suicide,” Maj Theerasak noted.

Re: Kiwi suicide from 20 floors, Patong hotel.
Interesting they jump to the suicide conclusion without considering it might have been an accident... and can only make it harder for the family.
