Pattaya Police had only a short distance to cover from Pattaya Police Station to the second Road entrance of Central Festival Shopping Mall after a report came in that someone had jumped from the car park at the side of the Shopping Centre. At the scene they found only a blood stain on the ground as the person had already been taken by staff of the shopping mall to the nearby Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
At the hospital police ascertained the identity as Miss Nathan aged 26 from Buriram Province. It is thought that she was a shop worker at the Central Festival shopping mall.
As soon as the incident had occured a security guard was confronted with the massively injured body of Miss Nathan and had rushed to inform Mall management staff. A manager decided that it was not a nice thing for the dead body to be left in situ as it was high season and the sight of a mangled body would upset Thai and foreign customers coming and going at The Mall.
Whether she committed suicide by jumping from the 5th floor, was murdered and her body tossed over the parapet or this was an accidental death of some form we may never known as the only evidence was immediately removed.
