Teenage intern injured in mysterious fall from six-storey building leaves questions unanswered
A 19 year old intern yesterday was found injured in a car park, having mysteriously fallen from a six-storey building. The young man was undressed and bore injuries across his body. Rescuers from the Thamma Ratsamee Maneerat Foundation and a medical team from Chon Buri Hospital found the teenager lying on the bonnet of a damaged Toyota Yaris. His fall caused extensive damage to the car’s windscreen.
The intern, known as ‘A,’ was unable to answer any questions due to his condition. Initial medical assistance was provided at the scene before he was urgently transported to Chon Buri Hospital. In the young man’s room on the sixth floor, an open balcony area revealed a pile of faecal matter and a plate, which suggests he may have fallen from there.
The dormitory supervisor, 21 year old Natthacha Suwannaphan, revealed that ‘A’ had recently moved in with two other friends. They all were trainees at a vocational college in Lampang. It’s still unclear what led to ‘A’s fall, as Natthacha claimed she had only heard a loud noise but had no other insight into the incident.
Within the same apartment, police found another intern, referred to as ‘B.’ The 19 year old was asleep and appeared intoxicated. B was also unfamiliar with the circumstances leading up to ‘A’s fall. He was taken to Don Hua Lo Police Station for further questioning regarding the incident.
The owner of the damaged car, 26 year old Kritsada, claimed that he also lived on the sixth floor of the building. He mentioned hearing a loud noise, which prompted him to inspect the cause, only to discover a man lying on his car. Kritsada has already involved his insurer to deal with the damages to his car.
The circumstances behind the intern’s fall remain a mystery. Police will wait for the teenager to recover to take his statement and ascertain the events leading up to the fall. The subsequent investigation will determine the course of action as per the law.
