Yet another balcony incident


Pattaya mail 30th Sept
British man falls to his death from 14th floor of hotel

Boonlua Chatree

A British man married to a Thai woman jumped to his death from the 14th
floor of a hotel in South Pattaya during the afternoon of September 22.

Officers from Pattaya police station along with tourist police officers
and the British consular attach้ for Pattaya rushed to the scene
after the hotel’s gardener reported that someone had jumped and
landed on a second floor overhang.

They found the body of British national Christopher James Perry, aged
30 years. Hotel staff said that Perry had been staying on the 14th
floor of the building with his Thai wife. Entering the room, officers
found no signs of disturbance. On the bed was a packet of cigarettes
and a pair of glasses. The sliding door to the balcony was open. On the
balcony was a table, and there were six cigarette stubs on the floor.

Later on the dead man’s wife Mrs Prathum Perry, age 23, returned to
the room. She told police that during the morning she and her husband
had visited Naklua market and then returned to their room. At 12:30 her
husband was sleeping and she left to visit her friend in Jomtien. When
she returned she was greeted with the terrible news that her husband
had jumped to his death. She didn’t know why her husband did such a
thing.

The father of the dead man, 60-year-old Richard Perry, was staying in a
room on the same floor. He told police that his son had been drunk
every day since arriving in Thailand on September 19. They had been due
to fly back to England on September 26. He said he had constantly
warned his son about his drinking, and speculated that he may have
jumped whilst drunk or sat on the balcony ledge and fallen off.
