Pattaya —
A 63-year-old Norwegian expat was found dead after reportedly harming himself in a Pattaya hotel room.
At 4:00 AM on October 20th, the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Center received a report of a foreigner behaving erratically and physically harming himself in a hotel room on Soi 14, Pattaya. Upon receiving the report, they immediately coordinated with local police before rushing to the scene, along with The Pattaya News team.
At the scene, authorities found the foreigner, a 63-year-old Norwegian expat whose name was withheld due to ongoing investigations, lying naked in front of the bathroom in a room on the second floor. He was bleeding heavily from his face and had sustained multiple deep cuts. The room was stained with blood, and shards of broken glass were found on the bed.
Rescue workers attempted to stop the bleeding from the man’s face and checked his pulse, which was dangerously low. They quickly moved him for transport to a local hospital. However, his pulse stopped during the transfer, and despite performing CPR, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The body was sent to Banglamung Hospital for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
A hotel staff member told The Pattaya News that they heard loud noises from the deceased’s room, prompting them to unlock the door to check. They then found the expat lying in a pool of blood, still able to speak but incoherent, before losing consciousness. The staff then immediately contacted emergency services.
Pattaya Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the hotel and investigating further to determine the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
