23yo British woman falls from hotel, Hat Yai

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

British woman tourist dies in Songkhla hotel fall
August 25, 2017 10:59
A 24-year-old British tourist fell to her death from a hotel in downtown Songkhla’s Hat Yai district early on Friday morning.
Following the 5.30am report of a woman’s fatal fall, police and rescue workers rushed to the scene in an alley between two hotels on Sanehanusourn Road. They found the woman’s body with a broken neck and other broken bones caused by the severe impact of the fall, said police.

Police later identified the woman as British national Maxine Missick, 23 who had checked in on August 21 to the 31st floor of one of the hotels. Her locked room showed no sign of having been ransacked. A window was left open.

Police believe that foul play is unlikely. Their initial suspicion was that the woman either accidentally fell or committed suicide.

That makes for a change: usually it is Pattaya and usually it is older guys married/engaged to a Thai lass....

This may be the first unassisted slip and fall in Pattaya's history.

Songkhla is over 1000 km from Pattaya.

Thailand, August 25, 2017 – A Turks and Caicos woman died today in Thailand and it is sending shockwaves among friends and others who knew her. Official comments from country leaders are on hold to ensure the young woman’s family is notified.

A report online identifies the woman as Maxine Missick and says police do not suspect foul play in her death. The young woman of the Clement Howell High Class of 2009 is believed to have fallen from the window of a hotel in Hat Yai in the Songkhla district.

#MagneticMedia is told the woman, who is also a Haitian national, was at Keele University as BioMedical student in the #UnitedKingdom.
“Maxine loved the Lord, had a keen interest in African culture and loved meeting new faces.”

Police will perform an autopsy to say for sure how Missick died and have also suggested that there is a chance her fall, where her neck and other bones were broken from the impact, could have been suicide. There is no mention of a suicide letter or anything else to suggest that 23-year old Maxine killed herself, however.

It is said Ms. Missick’s window was open, the door locked and the room was not ransacked. Maxine was due to check out August 31; she checked in to the hotel in Thailand on August 21...

That's tragic. That picture looks very stretched, I think she probably looked more like this:
