Upon arrival, officers and hotel staff found the room locked from the inside with a security chain. Gaining entry via the fourth-floor balcony using the fire escape, they discovered the man, identified only as Mr. L. from Germany, in a kneeling position at the foot of the bed with his hands and head resting on the mattress.
