kevvy Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It is easy to blame the person,, blame the world or blame yourself. but when you think about it , the only thing you can do is sit celebrate who the person was. There is no way any of us are ever going to understand what happened or why it happened, and why they did it and it is easy to get into figuring out ...what you could of done....

Exactly what I was thinking,even if you want to kill yourself, survival mode would take over,it's only natural,and there he is calmly sitting with hands folded, RIP mate. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrunner Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Sad that illnesses overcame his will to live. At 78 I'm terribly grateful for my caring Thai wife of 34 years. Health could be better but it could be a lot worse. I still get to see the sun shine, when it's not raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the wife is always out in these alleged suicides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yep. Definitly suicide. Took some sleeping tabs, fell asleep, put bag over his head, taped it up and died. Strange how we see these things on Thaivisa but usually don't see autopsy reports. Suicide or drugged and murdred? TV please keep us informed.?

lemonjelly Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I wonder whose fingerprints are all over the bag and tape..... but that would involve critical thinking and another police force to sort that out Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
