An American tourist was tragically discovered dead this morning in a suspected suicide after a fatal fall from the seventh floor of a hotel in Pattaya, Thailand. The incident took place at an unidentified hotel on Soi Thappraya 15, where the deceased, identified as Michael Jeffery Bruggink, was found lying face down in a narrow space behind the hotel’s parking lot. The 43-year-old American was topless at the time of discovery, and initial investigations revealed no signs of violence on his body or forced entry into his hotel room. However, Thai police discovered cannabis and numerous syringes in the room, which has now been sealed off for further forensic analysis.

Hotel security guard, Supornchai Hadkham, who is 34 years old, reported that he did not witness the fall and remains uncertain about how or when it occurred. Hadkham found Bruggink while on patrol and immediately contacted authorities upon finding the tourist unresponsive. Police are currently investigating the cause of the incident, considering both the possibility of an accidental fall and suicide. A forensic examination will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death, and the victim’s embassy will be notified.

The investigation into Bruggink’s death remains ongoing, with authorities working diligently to ensure all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined. Police will continue to gather evidence and speak with potential witnesses to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident.

Vlasenko was found lifeless outside the 35-storey building, wearing a dark blue T-shirt and black shorts. He had a large gash on his head, exposing his brain.
