A 27 year old American man has been found dead after falling from a condo in Udon Thani on Monday morning, reports Thaivisa News.

Officers searched the man’s room on the 5th floor where they found empty bottles of Hong Thong whisky strewn across the floor.

Police believe the man, identified as Neftali Perez, committed suicide or fell from the balcony of his condo while he was drunk. However, they are also investigating the possibility he was murdered.
