Sounds like a very hard way to hang himself. If he wasn´t a midget, that will say. Anyway, RIP to the man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just opened a scuba school a month a go , some jalouse competitor comes trough my mind. I hope they investigate thoroughly.

There was a case, still unsolved I believe, in the UK of an Aikido expert and local bouncer found hanged sitting down with his belt tied to some railings. IIRC he was over 6 feet tall.

It is an ongoing investigation & the truth will be told. Unlike many other places, the Koh Chang police force do not believe everything they see. They do investigate and are very good at what they do. We might not like the final story but it will be the truth and not hearsay. I would just like to add that I am a personal friend of David, one of many that he has here on the island and not one of us believe the suicide slant on this story. RIP my friend 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, but the two meter option sounds more secure, and you like not have the option to change your mind.

sjbrownderby Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The very first 'sudden death' I investigated in January 1980 was a man who had hanged himself from a door handle with his neck tie. With determination it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo1964 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 It seems that his young son died in February last year. So perhaps the loss was too much for him, somethings you just don't get over. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
