A Chinese woman fell to her death from the 10th floor of a hotel in the Karon sub-district of Phuket province. The cause of her death remains shrouded in mystery.
A hotel worker reported the death of the Chinese woman, 34 year old Zou Ke, to Karon Police Station at around 4am today, October 6. Officers investigated the scene immediately after receiving the report. They discovered Zou’s lifeless body on the steps in front of the hotel.
Zou was lying in a pool of blood and there were no signs of physical assault. Her body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy.
According to the Phuket Times, Zou did not stay alone in the room. She was staying with a 35 year old Tunisian man named Haassen Hamrouni. Hamrouni told police he was Zou’s boyfriend and claimed to be staying in the hotel room with her.
Hamrouni stated that he and his girlfriend arrived at the hotel at 3pm yesterday, October 5, and had dinner together in a restaurant in the hotel. They drank wine together and returned to the room at around 10pm that night.
