Qld hotel assists in high-rise death probe STAFF at a Gold Coast hotel are assisting police following the death of a man whose ex-girlfriend was found dead in Sydney this week. Police were about to arrest Elliot Coulson, 32, when he fell 26 floors to his death at the Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa shortly after midday (AEST) on Wednesday. AAP understands a routine investigation by ethical standards command overseen by the coroner is underway due to the police officers' proximity to the death. Mr Coulson was wanted for questioning over the suspicious death of Kate Malonyay, who was found dead in her Mosman unit on Monday. It's unclear if Mr Coulson intended to fall or was trying to move to another floor to evade police. In a short statement, hotel general manager Neeraj Chadha said staff were assisting police in their investigations. "The police are conducting a full investigation into the matter and circumstances proceeding the guest's death," Mr Chadha said in the statement. We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they look into the matter.
