Frenchman in dramatic suicide in Phuket (Video clip)
A forty-seven year old Frenchman blind-folded himself and jumped from the 16th floor of an apartment building in Patong, Phuket at 6.50am this morning, (21 October) killing himself instantly.
The tragedy was captured on film, which reveals other residents pleading with him not to jump, seconds before he launched himself off the balcony.
French national Mr Nicholas Gilbert Claude Cesar had been living at the mansion building on Azaria Road. Documents found in his room gave a telephone number for his family in France and a request to help for the payment of his room, rental car and a motorcycle.
His body has been taken to the morgue at Patong Hospital.
