rooster59 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Jobless man, abandoned by wife, kills himself By THE NATION In a suspected case of suicide, a man was found hanged from a tree in Chiang Mai province after the Covid-19 crisis left him jobless and his wife left him with their six-month-old child. The man, identified as Thanakrit, lived in Mae On district, with the baby after his wife had left him. On May 31, he left his house without his purse and medicine. His father said Thanakrit told him he wanted to calm himself down. He was found later hanged from a tree in a local forest. His phone, motorcycle and ID card were found at the scene. The man is thought to have been dead for a week or longer, according to his physical condition. His funeral was held on Friday (June 12), afternoon.

Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted June 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) The government are so proud of their so called 58 deaths, but I'm sure that more people than that have done the same as this gentleman, due to the, lockdown, the collapse of the economy and consequential unemployment. It is nothing but tragic, but, as most people already know, these people don't matter to those in charge. R.I.P. Thanakrit.

SamJohn Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 For many of the country’s poorest who work in low-paid informal jobs, those prospects seem especially daunting. Dozens of newly jobless locals are known to have taken their lives. Even some Western expats who have lost their jobs or whose businesses have collapsed have committed suicide in recent weeks!! and who knows what's coming .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the millions who have died from (nonsense) illness, and those who will possible live long term complications including cardiac, lung and kidney impairment . Suicide is the tragedy here and lack of supports for those affected financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
