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.

It wasn't the fall, it was the sudden stop at the end!
He was doing fine until that point. The press never gets anything right!

That reminds me of the line Tom Cruise used in the movie "Collateral"...

Sounds like a death of an anti-communist leader behind the iron curtain in the forties or fifties.I can't remember if it was Hungary or Czechoslovakia.
