A disabled German man escaped death after either falling
from the fourth floor of a Walking Street-area hotel.
Martin Theuniden, 49, was found fully clothed and
unconscious around 5 a.m. March 5 at a Second Road hotel near Soi 16.
Theuniden suffered a head wound and broken arm and has since been released
from Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
Police said Theuniden, whose left arm and right leg were
impaired since birth, has been living at the hotel for several months. Hotel
staffers reported that he did not drink.
Police speculate the German fell from his balcony, as
there was no evidence of foul play in his room, but did not rule out that he
might have been pushed.
