A British citizen died on Saturday when he attempted to base jump from the 29th floor of a condominium in Pattaya but his parachute failed to deploy.
Pattaya police say that the victim, 33-year-old Nathy Odinson, owned the Nathy’s Sky Photography website and asked a friend to film his jump from the condominium as online video content.
His parachute, which was still attached to him, failed to open, causing him to crash into a tree and then to the ground.
An employee at the condominium reportedly told the police that the victim had previously visited the condominium and yesterday he parked his car, took a lift to the 29th floor and jumped.
Several friends and fans of his page expressed their condolences when they heard of his death.
