webfact Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Dutch man found hanged from bathroom door in Pattaya hotel Picture: Sanook A maid at a Pattaya hotel saw the "please clean my room" sign hanging on the door of a second floor room on Sunday morning. But despite her knocking the occupant did not respond. She enlisted the help of a friend called Jaruwat, 34, who is a motorcycle taxi driver and they entered the room together. Mr Peter, 53, was hanging by a curtain tie secured by the closed bathroom door. He had been dead at least five hours, said Pattaya police investigating. There was no sign of a struggle. He was wearing just his underwear. The man is Dutch and an autopsy is taking place at the Police Hospital. Police are not yet assigning any cause of death and have not said if it was suicide or not.

Amazing Thailand. it might seem that way. Then again, look at the average age of the guys that die, and of the average age of the farang population in Thailand. Also, whenever one dies of natural causes (as people in their 50's, 60's, & 70's can do where ever they live), people always speculate that it must have been foul-play. Throw in booze & drugs. I'm sure there are lots of clean living expats, but I suspect that excessive boozing takes quite a few over time. RIP to the Dutch guy, 53's too young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ages of my pals that died in Thailand are usually around that. (40, 43, 50, 52, 69) How old was Hannah and the guy bashed to death on Koh Tao? Seems to me young foreigners are dying as often as old foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(40, 43, 50, 52, 69) Yes, but people die at those ages in their home countries. My brother in law dropped dead of a heart attack at 51 in the UK many years ago, he'd never set foot in Thailand in his life. An old friend died in his mid-50's very many years ago, I believe he was an alcoholic before he ever came to Thailand, where he very sadly died of liver cancer.

If she works as a maid in a pattaya hotel you'd think she would be used to farangs staying in hotel rooms by now It does seem weird in this particular case she went to get a motorcycle taxi guy to accompany her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is thus appears to be one of those signs that are hung on the exterior door handle from the article, rather an an electronic notice pressed from the inside, who really knows the truth ? unless CCTV in the corridors proves otherwise.
