A BOURNEMOUTH woman has died in a freak accident in Thailand.

Sarah Crutchley was on a course learning to teach English as a foreign language on the Thai island of Koh Lipe when she slipped at a waterfall during a break from training last Friday.

The students had a week off for the Thai holiday known as Songkhran following their final day of teaching practice on April 7.

A spokesperson for Teacha Language School, which runs the training course, said: “Sarah went to a waterfall with friends and she slipped and fell.

“We are still waiting to find out exactly how she died, whether it was drowning or head injuries – we don’t know at this moment.”
