BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - A lawmaker from Thailand's ruling party fell to his death Wednesday from his 10th floor apartment, followed a few hours later by a woman with whom he had been quarreling, police said.
The body of Attapol Sanitwongchai, a 39-year-old member of the Thai Rak Thai Party, was found on the ground outside his Bangkok condominium, police Lt. Col. Sompatara Thongkomol said.
Police are investigating whether Attapol jumped or was pushed, he said.
The lawmaker from northeastern Udon Thani province had quarreled with a woman in the apartment before plunging to his death, police said.
After Attapol's body was discovered, the 25-year-old woman returned to the apartment with three policemen and Attapol's father, a former lawmaker, to collect the dead man's belongings, police said.
When the father was leaving the apartment and the police officers were attending to him, leaving the woman alone, she jumped from the same spot, Sompatara said. She was taken to a hospital, where she later died.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's party won a landslide victory earlier this year and controls 377 of the 500 seats in Thailand's lower house.
my first guess was "about to spill the beans about whitewater"
"I go to pieces...."
Sounds like Attapol may have Thai'ed one on at the rakkin' Thai Rak Thai Party.
Attapol's death will be investigaged by InterPol.
Man still can't fly.
"Man still can't fly."
Woman neither, apparently.
And my original reason for buying the 1st floor condo was so that I didn't have to drag all that furniture up a flight of stairs...(plus you get a bigger patio if you live downstairs).
I guess there's other benefits I hadn't even thought of!!!!
LOL
