Sadly today, if a person is involved in a nasty accident, lying dead somewhere or being raped or beaten, by-standers are more likely to video them and post the tragedies on YouTube and facebook rather than go to their assistance. And yes, these horrific scenes are being used as entertainment value for the pleasures of the sadistic. 

 

Just another sad sign of the times where people are becoming desensitised to these incidents.

A very good example was homeless trolley man who went to assist the police in Bourke Street, Melbourne, last week against the stinking jihadist.  The audience could have easily overpowered the smelly jihadist within seconds by sheer numbers but they chose to film the vermin on their smartphones.

It is indeed sad.

Have a think about it, Naamblar2014.  All in the best possible taste, if you get my drift.  

 

On second thoughts, maybe that's why no one would go near him.  View the footage.

I don't wanna sound like a bad guy but the cops/rescue people certainly did more than I would have done.  I would have just hosted his ass up rather than put anyone else over the side.

Yes - sometimes it's unbelievable what people do for their 5 mins of fame ...

With no sign of foul play and a suicide note found, police concluded that Max Holden took his own life.

That must be one of the fastest conclusions ever.

 

RIP.

I don't think any of it is understandable....  This may be an unsympathetic and somewhat inhumane comment and may well prove unpopular, however, I'll go ahead because young Children will have seen this and will have been mentally impacted by the image a man hanging to his death. 
 
If this man took his own life, then whatever tragedy, stresses, illness etc this poor man suffered none can justify or excuse him imposing this image on the 1000's around him. 
 
I wonder if there is more to the story and a message was being sent - this has 'gangland' or such connotations and may be much more than suicide. 
 
 
 
 
 

I agree.

I would also concur that it may have gangland links I seem to recall a similar modus operandi in a trash gangster movie my son dragged me to. I guess it will unfold in the coming days. Shocking way to go whether or which. My experience of suspicious Norwegian deaths on Phuket is the Consul or Embassy were totally disinterested. The Thai police also control the foreign missions except it seems the Chinese?

Very sad that he wanted everyone to see the way he ended his life.  RIP mate.

There are just too many hangings and other suicides in Thailand. Why?

Why because people bring there baggage with them. After a few years and the new and exciting has worn off reality sets in and they realize it or them are no different in Thailand they they were in Norway, the US or you name it any other country

Who would come up with such an idea just to send a message? Where is his last minute CCTV tape? Must be some in the building.

I was having a very late bowl of Cornflakes this morning when the Mrs showed this to me, nearly gagged on them and I've seen my share of bad shit, RIP mate, a very sad & bad way to go. ????

[SantiSuk]

If it was a suicide, I hope that a close friend or acquaintance is found who can give evidence that helps establish a motive for the suicide (or a clue pointing towards a potential murder, otherwise a quick and easy assessment of suicide by the BIB is going to leave another bad taste surrounding falang deaths in Thailand

[Bournville]

Now I just read a news update about this.. He put a noose around his neck.. and shot himself first! OK.. This is getting more bizzare

[balo]

Well it still looks like a suicide to me , he already tied the rope around his neck from the top of the building , then shot himself with the gun so he would not feel the pain of hanging himself. RIP.

I'm also Norwegian and I do not agree with you at all. It looks more like a check list over how to take your own life.

 

Starting speculations this might be a murder based on only this note is just not right. 

Agree, but if we add the bullet wound to the head it would....

 

RIP

Thats why I asked, not much sense from Google translate, maybe makes sense to a native speaker

 

maybe, a lot of expats get sick in these aged years and decide to throw in the towel.

I know of many who have become ill and died, many good friends lost over the last 2 years all in the 60/70 range.

I myself was lucky having a brush with cancer, ok now but live day to day.

Very tragic that so many do this in LOS.

Suicide is a horrible topic that is avoided by most press but is a very big problem in todays world.

RIP.

Take care out there,

And who would have interest in killing an old man, and spend so much time to make it look like an suicide? Just an old crazy chap that went over the top, and realized it was no ticket back. 

 

Anyone wonder why there is so many suicides in Pattaya? And anyone wondering why, need new glasses.

TOURIST TOWN BLOODBATH

Butchered body of Norwegian expat, 69, found hanging from 31-storey Thai building in front of horrified tourists in Pattaya

The Norwegian national, who lived on the 23th floor, was found dangling from a rope attached to the top of the tower block in suspicious circumstances

By Patrick Knox

 

It had been found dangling from the 31 storey block of flats

 

A MUTILATED body of a pensioner with a bullet wound in his chin has been found hanging from 31-storey apartment block in Thailand.

 

The man, 69, believed to be from Oslo, Norway, plunged from the top of the tower block in Pattaya.

 

His blood-covered body - covered in slash wounds with a bullet hole below his mouth - was seen hanging from the building in the tourist town.

 

He was wearing shorts, trainers and a plastic poncho style raincoat.

 

Police and fire crews spent three hours abseiling down and recovering the corpse.

 

This was done instead of hoisting it back up because they said they wanted to ''preserve evidence''.

Spot-ON!

 

According to this article (unfortunately in Thai only) he had cancer, he left a note to his wife (who at the time was in a visit in Chiang Mai) where he gave all his belongings to her so it looks like he committed suicide....

 

In the last picture we can see a kind of a homemade weapon that most likely caused the wound to his face, but failed for its purpose and then he seems to have continued to plan B....

*OP Deleted out*   

     Jumping from that height with a rope around his neck ..I'm surprised he didn't decapitate himself.  Usually a hanging drop of the distance that he dropped would rip a persons head off.
