Thailand: Australian man dies at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport

An Australian man plunged four floors to his death at Bangkok's busy Suvarnabhumi Airport Thursday morning. Surveillance cameras showed that the man, aged 32, took the escalator from the third to the fourth floor before the incident took place at 6.25am. Medical staff tried to revive the man and he was taken to Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, according to the Bangkok Post, but he died from his injuries. Local police believe the man jumped from from the fourth floor and that the incident was one of self-harm. The airport had installed 2.5 metre high glass walls inside and outside the terminal after past similar deaths. Kittipong Kittikachorn, the airport's safety manager, has ordered engineers to consider erecting additional safety walls.<br/>
