While trying to experience some adrenaline rush, this Thailand tour has ended up taking his life, the parachute’s equipment denied supporting him, just like the much-needed boat’s assistance.
Getting into the details of the victim, ‘he fell 70 meters (230 feet) to his death while parasailing’ police said Thursday. Post the accident, Hussey was briefly conscious when medics reached him Wednesday, but he died shortly afterward in a hospital, said police Lt. Col. Pichai Songmuang.
