The unidentified man was wearing a blue shirt and long pants when his remains were spotted under the Bali Hai pier about 10 p.m. Dec. 31 during the heart of the musical performances.

Pattaya City security guard Sucheep Lasakul, 31, said he’d seen the man stumbling drunk through the area before and warned him to be careful.

Harbormaster Mongkol Noping, 34, spotted the corpse later and had it fished from the water and brought to shore behind the Countdown stage.
