An Indian tourist overcome with jealousy and grief committed suicide to get away from it all.
Krittikun Pitakpubed, 38, a laundry shop operator at the hotel on South Pattaya Road told police that as he was walking along the side of the hotel, he saw a man hanging from the balcony with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck. Realizing what had happened he summoned the hotel maid to take him up to the room and together pulled the man onto the balcony. Krittikun tried to resuscitate the man but it was in vain.
Staff of the hotel said that the man identified as 39-year-old Arminder Singh, an Indian national was living with his Thai girlfriend in the hotel for the past 2 weeks. Lately he had become very jealous and paranoid believing that his girlfriend was seeing another man.
Witnesses speculated that paranoia and suspicion may have overwhelmed him to such a point that he decided to take his own life by tying a bedsheet around his neck and jumping off the hotel balcony.
