ALBAWABA - In a heart-wrenching incident in Pattaya, Thailand, 33-year-old thrill-seeker Nathy Odinson met a tragic end when his daring jump from the 30th floor of a building went horribly wrong. 

The British parachutist, known for his adventurous spirit, leaped without permission, and the malfunction of his parachute led to a devastating outcome, claiming Odinson's life.

Emergency responders, upon reaching the scene, sadly confirmed Odinson's immediate passing, revealing the grim entanglement of parachute cords around his lifeless body. Building security personnel recalled the shocking sight of a blue parachute descending near the apartment in the evening. 

Preliminary investigations by Pattaya Police Inspector Kamolporn Nadee pointed to a parachute malfunction mid-air, causing Odinson to collide with trees before landing beside the building.

Adding to the tragedy, Odinson, an experienced skydiver and freelance parachuting instructor in Thailand, had previously shared his exhilarating jumps from the same building and others on his social media accounts. 

Authorities are now delving into the circumstances surrounding the incident, questioning two friends present, who were reportedly capturing the jump on camera. The heartbreaking event has prompted a thorough inquiry to understand the sequence of events leading to this devastating loss.
