A 19-year-old Thai woman has died in a Tokyo hospital after being severely assaulted in a hotel room on Tuesday. Japanese media reports said the prime suspect in the case, a Japanese man, jumped from the fifth floor room's window after the assault. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Busadee Santipitaks said on Thursday the Thai embassy in Tokyo had reported the Thai tourist was pronounced dead at a hospital in the Japanese capital. A Japanese man in his 20s was also found unconscious, with a broken skull, on a footpath in the street outside the hotel. According to the English-language news website Tokyo Reporter, the unconscious man was lying directly below the room's open window.
