F4UCorsair Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 No need to come half way across the world to hang yourself, you can do that at home. I would guess loneliness or a broken heart was the key factor. Perhaps he thought he had a girl here but it didn't turn out that way or perhaps he thought he would have a good time but somehow he just couldn't meet up with any people he could relate to. A deserted dormitory after several days of loneliness may have been the last straw, overwhelming him. On the other hand he could have been suffering from depression he couldn't take anymore.Or all of the above, plus five mostly empty bottles. Poor guy.Dormitory living at 38?? Just awful.Sent from my [device_name] using http://Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 So sad when people have to die alone,seems to happen with older farangs ,drink,drugs,bad health,Viagra,or just old age. If they had been other guest's in the hostel,he could have talked to them,and not been in such despair to end it all. RIP. regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand he could have been suffering from depression he couldn't take anymore. yeah. check his phone records, texts, emails, etc. He may have thought he had something good there. But still, I am amazed at the number of apparent suicides over alleged partner issues. I would naively expected more violence against the partner? Or maybe they just can't find them and give it all up, completely embarrassed, ashamed, broke, etc. Add an overdose of booze and other things and some crazy things can go through one's mind I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I see the standard Thai forensic examination was carried out 1. Count the empties and identify type of alcohol. (I see a foreign brand perplexed the cops here. Beer or 'whiskey'?) 2. Poke around in the ashtray and count the butts (More difficult nowadays with all this no smoking everywhere) 3. Scan the room and see if it qualifies to be described as "signs of a struggle". JOB DONE. No need for gloves or anything. All finished in 5 minutes. Draw a conclusion and announce it definitively to the waiting press. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Perhaps people suffering from depression do not [always] cross the line to suicide when in their homelands, as some can have a bit of lucidity and may not want to burden their relatives, friends with the issue of finding the dead body ??? Being far from one's homeland, with no close friends or waypoints of life, may ease the issue and make it easier for the depressed to cross the line and commit suicide. IMHO of course. Consequently, fleeing a gloomy country with hopes but also with one's despair, to a distant sunny land may not always be a cure for rootened pathological issues. Unless one has the cash to burn with superficial distractions or patterns that could keep the mind distracted ?...who knows... RIP to the victim.

When the proverbial hits the fan some folks become desperate when abroad. Back home they may have family or friends to turn to, but alone, far from home , things just seem so much worse. And then when there is nothing to go back home to, it just seems to be the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeLubThailand Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Man with 7 stab wounds and gashes found dead. Police conclude as suicide without a pathologist and closed the case.

anon789561 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 i saw that there is a campaign in the UK where they say around 84 men commit suicide every week. I think if it's clearly suicide then it shouldn't really be in the news IMO anyway. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/itv-male-suicide-awareness-sculptures-building-roof-mental-health-project-84-calm-a8274326.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
