Let me add to my comment. It would seem that if a person is thinking suicide in this manner they would sit someplace and contemplate their actions. A park bench is best. A lonely dirt path and then die in the weeds. Does not make for a suicide case. However, if it was murder, you would think the murder(s) would take the time to move the body farther into the bushes.

..you know nothing.

Sound very ridiculous! A tourist fly all the way to Thailand just because he wanted to commit suicide! What happen to his cash money? How did he tighten his own belt around his own neck? How his belonging walk 200 meter away from him? and many many.............???

...good ole media sensationalizing and publishing stories that haven't been answered yet...what do you expect...historically, disturbed people hang themselves by various means, including belts, shoe-laces. underwear..how about you all wait and see the outcome of the RTP investigation...the mere fact his belongings were intact nearby would support the theory he took his own life..RIP

It is easy to understand the amusement of the occupants of the car behind. They were probably bought up watching the slapstick comedy shows that are everywhere in Thailand - the ones where nobody has to think except to listen to the boings, the slaps and the canned laughter telling the audience when to laugh. When the Knobhead hits the bitumen that would have been a laugh too.

..the camera car would not have been able to avoid him, thats for sure...or was that a 'clapper-board' in the top right corner.

And no protection for your head ... unless you think the citation stuck to your head will prevent your head bouncing off something even denser.

Considering that somewhere over 90,000 + drivers where fined for driving without a license over the 7 dangerous days of driving, it seems to me that you don't need one.  Just pay the 400 THB fine and you'll be able to drive though other checkpoints unimpeded by showing your paid citation.  When in Thailand.......

Just based on that sample size, how much do you want to wager that at least 10 percent of the population drives without licenses, and I bet that is a really, really conservative estimate.  For all the hot air we hear from various puuyais and pundits, I doubt they really care: it's a cash cow money maker. 

...same with no-helmet citation..stick it on your head and you can ride around with full protection of the law for the rest of the day..Ive seen people stopped a 2nd time, produce the citation and ride off into the glorious sunset.

It is best to prepay your autopsy prior to setting foot in Thailand.

..it is a service provided by the Health Dept..if the family disputes the cause of death they can request the attorney-general to order a post mortem, if they provide sufficient evidence to warrant it. In addition, the next of kin can request a second post mortem if they too can provide sufficient evidence; quite often the next of kin must pay for this procedure by an independent pathologist.

Lol,,yup! My wife and in laws are befuddled why I don’t blow my horn during near misses. I try to explain I’m too busy downshifting and steering for avoidance along with the fact it doesn’t help. She understands that a little but says “you can let him know he does wrong”. I do enjoy her naivety and innocence after I calm down!
I tell her I don’t have three hands and she can work the horn for me if it will make her feel better. She actually tried it yesterday but it didn’t go off because you really have to depress it strongly. After that embarrassment she announced ,,I’m the driver and it’s not her job.
Trips through the rural farm country washboard, potholed dirt roads are so much fun in my bil’s low rider Isuzu p/u where ox herds can walk faster than I can drive to keep from bottoming out while delivering a half ton of rice in the back.

Sigh.

Even when you publish the facts it seems people prefer to just ignore them and make crap up to try and justify their preconceived notions and prejudices.

It seems Mr Diamond had over 19 years of experience living in Thailand. He wasn't some wide-eyed, fresh off the plane, n00b that got hitched to the first woman that smiled at him after arriving.

He got sick around mid-December and went to the hospital in Udon Thani. He was diagnosed with Dengue Fever. A few days later (on 20 Dec) he slipped into a coma and died.

As he was in a hospital and diagnosed with a disease (that ended up killing him) it is unlikely that an autopsy would have been done. My dad was in a hospital in Pattaya when he passed on (from advanced lung cancer) and they didn't do an autopsy either because they already knew what killed him and could complete the Death Certificate.

It appears that shortly after his death, Mr Diamond's body was taken to a temple in his wife's home village where they had a lengthy ceremony (3 days) and then the cremation on the evening of 25 December.
In the case of my father, he died on a Saturday afternoon. As a result, it took us 5 days to get the paperwork, make the trip to the Embassy in Bangkok and then make the arrangements with the temple. He was cremated (after a short, 1 day ceremony) on the 6th day. I'm not sure if Mr Diamond's wife made the trip to the Embassy in Bangkok (though the hospital and the temple would have no doubt mentioned that there was certain paperwork that would be needed before the cremation could be done). I noted in the news article that Mr Diamond's relative(s) were under the impression that the "ceremony" had taken place in Bangkok and Udon Thani so there may have been some miscommunication going on there and "Bangkok" was mentioned because of the need to go to the Embassy.

As for Dengue Fever, when I saw that on his wife's Facebook post I too looked it up. It has been in the news recently (in Thailand) and just before Christmas a friend of my girlfriend died. She too had been diagnosed with Dengue Fever. 

Dengue Fever:

Symptoms

In some cases, Dengue infection is asymptomatic – persons do not exhibit symptoms. Those with symptoms get ill between 4 to 7 days after the bite. The infection is characterized by flu-like symptoms which include a sudden high fever coming in separate waves, pain behind the eyes, muscle, joint, and bone pain, severe headache, and a skin rash with red spots. Treatment includes supportive care of symptoms. There is no antiviral treatment available. 

 

The illness may progress to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, bruising, and uncontrolled bleeding. High fever can last from 2 to 7 days. Complications can lead to circulatory system failure and shock, and can be fatal (also known as Dengue Shock Syndrome).

...sure..if the treating doctor is prepared to issue a Death Certificate then thats the end of it, it does not become a Coronial Inquiry; the police do not get involved and the body is released for burial or cremation...sympathies re your dads' passing.

Well that's the thing.

 

It's not the fact that he died but how he died and whether we will really know the true cause.. how long does an autopsy take to conduct anyways? 

 

Oh wait there was a cremation 

..autopsy takes about 1.5hrs.

A sudden death, the cause of which is unknown, becomes a coronial inquiry with an inquest opened.

Usually the appointed coroner will not allow a cremation until he is satisfied that the cause of death is one of natural causes and that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death....RIP
