Intoxicated Greek tourist dies on hotel floor

[bobbin]

Two friends have recently passed.. a lingering, horrible process. No dignity.

 

I'm hoping for a quick (relatively) heart attack.

Surely it was climate change...it's the new drop dead diagnosis.  No way it could be the jab, right?

Best wait until a official Post Mortem  has been carried out before trying to second guess  why he died 

RIP

Perhaps his family can sue for defamation.

Something could have been put in his drink ?

Most likely that he had a heart attack/heart failure, or possibly a stroke. (My brother in law dropped dead at 50 of a heart attack).

There are a few condos and quite a few apartments. 

 

Can't remember seeing a hotel. 

 

The Madera Lodge is the only one I know but I haven't had a reason to search. I think the hotels on the soi connecting ThepPrasit and rear of Rompho, is often said to be on Thepprasit but it really isn't.

Thanks for that.

 

I've been living off Thepprasit for more than 20 years, never notice the Madera, blink and you'll miss it.

 

Was that where the Greek died?

Yes, could have been a stroke in progress for example.  Or heart attack. 

Or he could have been drunk.

other reasons as to why he "seemed drunk"

Diabetic coma, heart attack for starters!

[Filippo M]

Too young

[Liverpool Lou]

Seems as though the Thaivisa medics have concluded that he died from a heart attack, stroke, heroin abuse and Viagra use while off his head with alcohol in a diabetic coma.  Sorted.

 

Of course, he could have just died, something we all have to look forward to.

The article claims that he was "intoxicated" , but the source of that info comes from the hotel security who stated that the Man "seemed drunk" , there could be numerous other reasons as to why he "seemed drunk" , rather than actually being drunk from alcohol consumption .

I agree.

 

But dont hold your breath awaiting hospitals in Thailand for positive conclusions or investigations to events such as these.

Referring to the linked news article. In the third image is what appears to be a female figure, on her knees, doing something with the deceased under a sheet........? ????

Your very lucky to be alive and tell your story.

 

Heart attacks come in many forms, for me in my mid 40's, it was a crushing pain in my chest, it felt as if a female with stilettoes was standing on my chest, not that I have experienced that, but best describes my pain at the time. I couldn't breath, was gasping for air, both arms tingling, new something was way out of wack, couldn't talk, wife looking at me and saying she will call an ambulance as I sat on the floor naked with my head in my knees.

 

I got up, put on my jeans and headed out the door, I was waving my wife on, she wife followed, got in the car, she said you can't drive, I took off as she barely made it in the car....lol, nothing was going to stop me, hospital was a 2 minute drive up the road and I knew I was in serious trouble, parked the car next to the emergency bay, motor running, lights on, door open, it was around midnight, so lucky there was no traffic, I was there within 60 seconds, speed might have been a factor, can't remember, walked in and it was busy being a Friday night on a long weekend. I said to myself, there is no way I am going to sit down and wait, so I tapped on the glass at the counter as the nurse wasn't looking at me as her head was down writing something, she said just a minute, I tapped real loud next straight after she spoke as I couldn't speak, grasping for air, she looked up, I was holding my chest trying to explain to her I was in trouble, she got on the mic real quick and said something like a code, door buzzed open and there was a crew running towards me, they put me in a wheel chair, spun me around and sped towards the emergency area, and then they all swung into action, ahh, looked like my persistence got express, wife managed to get into the emergency area after she parked the car, they were giving me some pills, doing an ECG and the rest while asking me questions and me nodding yes or no. 

 

The pain then went away and after being able to speak and breath normally again, I providing them with everything they needed to know, the main guy said, it's more than likely you had a heart attack, we've called the Cardiologist and his team who are on stand by, won't be long, the guy then said to me, is that pretty young lady with you, I said, yes that my wife who gave me the heart attack, he chuckled and said I could imagine, way to go, we both then chuckled as if schools boys ????

 

10 minutes later, Cardiologist and team rocked up and after a brief discussion with him I was in the theatre, stent was inserted (95%) blockage in the proximal left anterior descending artery. Cardiologist said I was lucky the ambulance got me to the hospital in time as there was no damage to the walls, I then explained to him that I drove, and he said, I would never recommend anyone drive while having a heart attack, but you might not have made it if you did wait for an ambulance, I said, that's what I was thinking, my dad died waiting for an ambulance which took 45 minutes to get to him, call me selfish, he said, you did what you did, your here now, that's what's important.

 

I spent 3 days in hospital being monitored, no issues since, that was 14 years ago, if there is valuable lesson from all of this, it's 4 times in one day is a death wish.

 

RIP to the young man, too early to speculate, but I know Greek cuisines are very high in cholesterol and not the healthiest of foods choices, if you over indulge, love Greek food and unless he kept his weight under control and didn't smoke, he might have ended up as many Europeans do, with heart attacks, that's my take on it as other have also speculated. 

Amazing story. You’re lucky to be alive, as am I.  Good luck and I wish many many more years for you. I hope to be back in southeast Asian in Spring, 2023.  My cardiologist has given me the green light to fly wherever I want. I just need my meds with me. She said if I can’t find them, start cutting them and taper off slowly. Don’t just suddenly stop.   But I know I can get them in Cambodia and Thailand.   Best wishes to you and your family. ????????  ☸️

Indeed could have been a mild stroke,...

Same to you.

 

As for the meds, you can get them here very easily, although they are more expensive than back home as I used to get them government subsidised.

 

Depending on where your staying, and the meds of course, I found Siam Pharmacy Korat on LINE to be very efficient with delivery and price when I compared them to others. Courier delivered to my door and English text, money transfer, next day delivery.

 

Best of luck and many more happy health years to you.

[thailand49]

Key for me not a heart attack!  No shirt on!  I've been on a number of calls Fire Department paramedic unit outside of homes none with heart attacks had their shirts off. ????

[Visceral]

Imagine cracking jokes about somebody that’s just died, let’s hope karma doesn’t give any of you comedians a taste of your own medicine.

When I experienced my “mini stroke” your observation would have applied. Fortunately, it cleared within two hours …

I too passed by it for five years and only noticed it lately because traffic often comes to a standstill for me to notice.

I've no idea where the poor guy died.

Yes, thanks for that. 

Like I said, a few condos. Supalai is a condo. 

 

Just the one hotel on Thepprasit, a small hotel, looks more like a guesthouse.........

Madera Lodge
