Fatal escalator fall

A 31-year-old man who fell off an escalator yesterday afternoon in Bangkok's Central Pin Klao Mall died shortly after.

 

Pongsathorn Suwannakhon, from Nonthaburi, was rushed to Chao Phraya Hospital at 1pm but succumbed to his injuries – a broken neck and two broken legs. Mall employees told police the man was using the third floor escalator. He fell to the ground after bending forward to look down. Police suspect he may have fainted before falling.
