Thread: American teacher falls from condo rooftop

American teacher falls to death from condominium's rooftop



An American teacher fell from the rooftop of a condominium in Bangkok's Bang Na area and was killed early Friday morning, police said.






Police said Michelle Rere Stillwell, 32, fell from the rooftop of the Parkland Building 9 at 5:40 am.

Police found one of her shoes on the rooftop and found an empty bottle of wine and a nearly empty bottle of whisky in her room.

Police suspected that the woman was walking on the rooftop and accidentally fell because she was drunk.

She taught English at the Thai-Chinese International School in Samut Prakan's Bangplee area.

Seriously does anyone know of any other country in the world where so many people 'fall' from condos, rooftops etc????

The moral of all these stories is...live on the ground floor!

This is the first time I've seen a woman die here like this, although I just scrolled through HBs long list...a lot of deaths HB...

Being that it was a Friday morning she would probably have been still intoxicated if she had made it to class...

I know some people at TCIS. Will try to find out more.

Ive been pissed alot but never ever had the notion oh I am pissed lets go for a walk around the condo rooftop ?? Where the fck does that come into it ?

Known people to drink on a rooftop, however falling off aspect doesnt normally come into it.

D'you know, if it wasn't for the pain caused by the credit crunch, rising prices everywhere for everything, the Democrats in America, Zimbabwe, Burma, Brown being a dick (& Scottish at that), UK immigration, football, cricket and the weather, someone, somewhere, might just pick up on the amount of free falling that takes place in Bangers and Pattaya and ask some serious questions!?

But I doubt it.

Bluddy hell HB.

Hi, this is the young ladies mother, Joni Wise--I used to have 8 children; now i have 7. I don't know who her friends were over there at the school but I have a need to know==I do know for a fact that the story in the paper and what really happened to her are not one in the same. I would appreciate anything that you could find out!

Grieving mother

Condolences to you...must be difficult to lose one of your own and be so far away...

maybe some of the members here might know some details which could help you...

Gently guys please

Well when the balcony height is near waist level, not that hard to fall over one, when drunk.
