The Phuket News — Three Australians were rushed to a hospital in Phuket’s Patong Beach last night after a bit of hotel balcony horseplay turned into horror.
The hotel called police and rescue workers at 8pm after the three men fell from the third floor of the Phuket Graceland Resort and Spa.
The three, all aged 24, were identified as Timothy Jean Cover, Timothy Paul Hanson and Richard Anthony Jones.
“They were hanging out and drinking on the hotel balcony,” said a hotel staff member. “They were chatting loudly and teasing each other, pushing each other around, when, unexpectedly, all three fell off the balcony to the court yard.”
Hansen and Jones suffered light injuries but Mr Cover hit his head on landing, and had to be put on a respirator before being rushed to hospital.
