This American was my brother Bill. I read and reply to most of the sympathetic opinions of the topic of his suicide. My heart goes out to the ignorant people who make comments such as he was "broke" in Thailand, comments about his Thai wife and other distasteful comments.. He was a wonderful friend and brother to me. He had had a stroke two years ago and was despondent over this and just plain depressed. He did not want to be a burden to his wife or family. He was a proud man. Bill was collecting a wonderful pension and also social security from 30 plus years of hard work. He loved Thailand and his Thai family. Before you assume things you may want to ask yourself "How would I feel if this happened to my brother or sister?". Again, my heart is grateful for empathetic comments and I feel sorry for ones that disrespect and have no clue of what he may have been going through. It saddens me how badly people must feel about themselves to make such nasty comments over such a private and tender event. What comes around goes around.
