British man dies in Thailand base jump accident
A British man has tragically died in a base jump from a tower block.
Nathy Odinson, 33, jumped off a 29-storey apartment block in Pattaya, Thailand but his parachute failed to deploy.
He landed in a tree before hitting the ground.
He was pronounced dead after emergency services arrive quickly on the scene.
An investigation has been launched.
It is thought Odinson was employed at a local skydiving school.
Staff at the Lumpini Ville Naklua tower block say he had jumped from the building before and knew it was illegal to do so.
A security guard said: “They were making video content for social media. They had done this before and they knew it was not allowed.”
The UK Foreign Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Thailand.”
