webfact Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 British man found dead in Pattaya was ‘stressed about divorce from Thai wife’ Picture: Sophon Cable A British man had died after falling from the 18th floor of a condominium in Pattaya. The body of the man [name withheld], 68, was found on the 5th floor mezzanine at the Lumpini Villa in Naklua at 1am on Wednesday. The man’s body was found by his new girlfriend. She told police how she had returned to their condominium to find her boyfriend missing. Concerned, she looked outside and saw his body on the ground below. She added that in recent days he had spent a lot of time on the balcony looking down towards the ground. Local media reported the man had been suffering from stress due to the impending divorce from his Thai wife. He was due to travel to Khon Kaen tomorrow to finalise the divorce, the report said. Police said it was likely the man committed suicide. His body has been sent for post mortem to establish an official cause of death.

Krataiboy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Does anyone anywhere keep a record of the number of suicides of falangs taking the plunge from hi-rise buildings in Thailand?
