Young Aussie plunges to death from Bangkok hotel balcony – body found completely naked

Mystery surrounds the death of a 25 year old Australian man who fell to his death from a hotel bedroom at a four star hotel in the Surawong area of Bangkok.
The naked body of Joshua Edward Beath was found on the “M” floor of the unnamed hotel by a maid in the early hours of the morning.
He had checked into the hotel the day before with a Thai woman that the Thai press reported was his girlfriend.
Room 788 on the seventh floor was checked by Bang Rak police and no signs of a struggle were detected.
A door leading to the balcony was open. The dead man’s fingerprints and footprints were found on the balcony. An autopsy was carried out at the Police Hospital following the discovery of the body on Friday morning last week.
The local press reported that he was Austrian. But Thaivisa discovered that he was in fact Australian after an obituary appeared in the Herald Sun in Melbourne.
Family members said that he had died as the “result of an accident”. Several relatives names were in the obit dated August 2nd that added: “We will miss your cheeky grin and your humorous intellect and huge heart.”
No mention was made of a Thai girlfriend or any other details in relation to his death.
At the time of the discovery of the body Bang Rak police said they were gathering evidence and were keen to interview the woman who had checked in with the Australian on the 28th of July.
