According to Kom Chad Luek, the deceased, a machinist whose name has been withheld, lived on the fifth floor of the building.
The windows in his room did not have any safety bars, providing no barriers to prevent him from accidentally falling.
Deceased had a habit of sleepwalking
Two other residents in the building informed the police that the deceased often sleepwalked and talked in his sleep.
One of them, who was related to the victim, confirmed that this was a frequent occurrence.
