Pattaya —
A Russian tourist was found dead on the ground outside a luxury condominium on Thepprasit Road in Pattaya at 12 PM today, June 3rd.
Pattaya police received a report of a possible suicide at an unidentified high-rise condominium and responded to the scene alongside rescue workers.
At the incident scene, authorities found the dead body of a Russian tourist, publicly identified as Mr. Roman Vlasenko, 38, on the ground outside the building. He was lying face-down and wearing a blue shirt and black shorts. The victim sustained several fatal injuries.
An unidentified security guard at the condominium stated that Mr. Vlasenko was a resident at the condominium. The guard reported seeing Mr. Vlasenko earlier that day exhibiting signs of intoxication while wandering the condominium grounds. He was last seen walking on the 29th floor before his body was found around noon.
No signs of struggle were found within Mr. Vlasenko’s room. Witnesses revealed the victim had contacted his rental agent that morning requesting a delay in his rent payment due to his credit card reportedly being frozen.
Additionally, authorities discovered that Mr. Vlasenko had been recently involved in a now-resolved sexual harassment case with a masseuse at a local massage parlor in Pattaya in April this year.
Pattaya police suspected Mr. Vlasenko may have been under significant stress, which potentially led to his suicide. However, a full autopsy will be conducted at the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine to determine the exact cause of death.
