Thailand are ranked 60th in the world for suicides so no need for the panic just yet !! 

But how do the stats hold up if you only look at suicides of non Thai persons residing here. Would that number of 60 increase or decrease I wonder?

The sad thing is that there is generally an inverse relationship between suicide and murder.  Those countries with high suicide have lower murder rates and the reverse is also true, of low suicide rates associated with higher murder rates.  It depends on whether a culture or country overall tends to externalize anger (murder) or internalize anger (suicide.)

who cares, if someone going to behave in this way better hes gone.

You have no idea what the poor man was going through to make him kill himself, so please stop with the uncaring/ nasty comments.

Maybe 1 day you could find yourself in a similar situation, you wouldnt be making nasty comments then.

never going to happen to me ! you know more than anyone about bad things that can happen in ones life but you did not throw yourself off a building.

 the man was weak and pathetic i have no time for anyone like this. im sorry ! 

You are wrong, never going to happen to you.... WHAT, stop the nonsense please.

I was seriously wanting to kill myself after being told i would never walk again, only reason it didnt happen was at the time i was unable to even lift a hand, and could not even hold a glass or anything.

Could happen to you tomorrow, think about that before spouting nasty comments about others.

Pure speculation - but it could be the high profile overstay crackdowns and/or tough rules on retirees that caused him to do that.

 

If anyone gets in such bad mental space reading this due to current visa pressures, contact a therapist/helpline in your country (Samaritans etc). ????

Best to just ignore this fellow colinneil.  Obviously has some very serious problems and thrives on negative attention.....so sad really.

I would have thought that a straight drop from that height would have severed the head. Maybe he was lowered down, a difficult way to commit suicide ????  R.I.P.

I thought the same but looking at the pictures his arm seems in an awkward position wrapped around the back of his head??  maybe his arm got tangled in the rope during the drop and lessened the impact on his neck.  Poor fellow, RIP

 

What puzzles me is the need for the raincoat??

     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. 

That's what i thought, i remember something Albert Pierpoint (sp) wrote about how important the length of the drop was so as to stop decapitation, so saying all we can offer is the usual RIP to the poor man, if there were others involved ie. murder lets hope the police find them through maybe the other suicide note that names other ex-pats!

Well that's certainly an eye-opener....you've put things in perspective as far as the perceived  high rate of suicide in Thailand. Suicide has no boundaries- obviously. No matter what country, the fact remains that suicide unfortunately has no explanation to those not suffering and not in the person's shoes. Sad reality is that for whatever reason a person decides to take their life, focus on mental health always seems to be either disregarded or sadly in many instances too late to draw attention. Granted, no one can read minds- what people are going through and often those despondent people do not show or speak about their struggles. For those who see a 'change" in people close to them, take note and assume that something may be amiss.

That block with the homemade pipe inserted (bloodstained)maybe the weapon he shot himself with   prob someone else earlier mentioned it

How does one shoot themself with a pipe? Forgive my confusion with your forensic theory. Inasmuch as I thought that photo to be "weird", I don't see how a pipe contributed to a person shooting themself.

So he cuts his wrists and his neck, then he put a noose around his neck which the other end attached somewhere else and then shoots himself? Its kinda overkill isnt it?

Huh? What is a "self-quoted" pipe? If a person wants to shoot themself, what is the purpose of making the act more difficult by constructing some 'apparatus"? Your logic does not make sense at all. If I were despondent and wanted to kill myself with a gun, I assure you that my only focus would be the gun pointing to an area of my body- certainly not a fairy-tale gun attached to a pipe. If I'm wrong, then I will retire to bedlam.

And furthermore, had the deceased shot himself prior to the apparent hanging (as others have suggested), then if incapacitated from the gun shot, how did he manage to put a noose around his neck after he was shot? Anything possible, although not palatable.

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.

Don't feel too bad as I would of just cut the rope.obviously not money worries if he was like all the young,able and fit Norwegians in my village on 100,000b a month sickness benefit that they like to call pension.selfish tosser if you ask me,leaving everyone to clean up after him and terrorising the neighbourhood with a horrific sight for all to see.

You are close to the 'gossip' I heard this morning. Via Thai partner, friend of a friend etc! 

Claimed to know him.
