The wife of the deceased, Miss Kamolwan Yenturat, aged 30, told the Police that, before the incident occurred, she was in her room 1114 on 11th floor. Suddenly, her husband came in from outside, walked over to his computer notebook without speaking a word, and unexpectedly ran to the balcony and jumped to the ground. She tried to stop her husband, but it was too late.
