RIP mate.

Karma

I guess it makes a difference to your average fall from a balcony.

 

why not it is 2017 after all, a few more unconcious at wheel

and death by the cold weather should do the trick

I understand titles must be concise, but they should not be misleading. I had the impression that the guy died in the crash caused by him falling unconscious while driving. Not so.

The original title by Phuket News was more accurate.

 

RIP. And terrible experience for the gf too.

did you want to say "heart attack"?

A heart attack is not the only issue to result in the inability to drive a car safely.
