Both the Aussie and the crewman go up....up.....up, then the Aussie rapidly comes down and is killed. He had slipped out of his harness. Who knows what really happened up there? The Thai wife was investigated but no charges have been brought against anyone so all is good in the hood. The Aussie guy's net worth is £193 million quid! Makes you wonder.
I think everyone is fully aware of how diligent and exceptionally honest the cops in SE Asia are. I myself have no doubts whatsoever that this was an unfortunate accident.
