Thread: Finnish Man falls to his death from 18-storey Pattaya Condominium

In what has been described as a presumed suicide, a 52 year old man from Finland fell from an 18-storey Condominium in Jomtien on Thursday.
Police and rescue services were called to the Jomtien Beach Condominium and were directed to the 4th floor car park area where the body of Mr. Rusanen Karri Olavei aged 52 from Finland was situated. It is thought he had jumped from the 18th floor in an apparent suicide, according to Police.
The victims Girlfriend, Khun Panee aged 45, was contacted and confirmed that Mr. Olavei had recently arrived in Thailand and was staying at the R-Con Apartments in Soi Buakhao and had told her that he was going to Jomtien on Thursday morning to see a friend.
The body was found by Khun Nailert aged 54, a Security Guard at the Condominium who confirmed he did not recognize the man and believes he is not residing at the Condominium.
Police are now working with the Embassy of Finland in Bangkok to build a profile of the victim and to determine any possible motives behind the apparent suicide.

RIP, man...Hope your anguish is gone...

RIP
Fly all that way to fall to ones death.
What does Pattaya do to Men.
You never hear of Women doing this.

Maybe he'd just found out his GF wasn't 23 after all

Long way to come just to top yourself.

We can only hope, that someday it is not us. RIP

^Would like to think we're all a bit more clued up on TD

Wonder how many RIP threads get started on thaivisa each month when one of their own jumps

He may have been a TD poster , who knows ?

Similar to places like Las Vegas and others, where the terminally ill, bankrupt, heartbroken and depressed go for one last fling of the dice, or binge on drink and women.
Just glad the Flying Finn didn't land on anyone else.

Another RIP!!

RIP - the flying Finn
