An elderly Austrian cancer victim died after
apparently jumping from his 18th floor Naklua condominium.
The nude body of Harald Schmidberger, 60, was found
in shrubbery outside the Saranchol Pattaya Condominium on Soi Wong Amat
Feb. 6. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police broke into Schmidberger’s locked apartment and
found cancer medication and cancer-treatment records from a Bangkok
hospital.
Police suspect Schmidberger, the marketing manager of
a sport drink company, was terminally ill and decided to take his own
life.
