Man jumps from Bhumibol 2 bridge in apparent suicide

By Thai PBS

 

 

A man, aged 35 to 40, jumped off the Bhumibol 2 bridge early on Monday despite of an attempt by a bridge security guard to stop him.

 

He plunged 50 metres from the bridge into the Chao Phraya river and went missing under the cover of darkness beneath.

 

According to the security guards at the bridge, a 170-centimetre tall man in long white T-shirt and dark colour trouser was first seen in the bridge’s video cameras climbing over the rail fence of the Poo Chao Saming Prai road toward the Bhumibol 2 bridge. They immediately alerted a security guard on the bridge to stop the man from walking into the bridge.

RIP poor man.

Always saddens me to think of the despair and hopeless he must have endured prior to taking this course of action.

Then there are those left behind.

Awful thing for all concerned
