And the guy did not think to hang himself or how about the old charcoal briquettes in the bathroom with the door and windows shut...

 

Slitting your own throat would be horrible...

 

In the west this would lead to a major investigation.....Here...Well.....We all know the vertic on almost all farang deaths...

Is there a flying club at Sattahip

 

[ronster]

Highly possible if he slit his jugular vein as he would bleed out quickly but the place would be sprayed with blood I imagine.

Knew a guy who done it to himself while in the back of a car while being driven to hospital as he was feeling paranoid and needed to get to the psychiatric hospital to be treated.

Yeah I read or watched something about it years ago too. Couldn't remember the details but i think if you get it wrong the head comes right off. 

Oh...  I forgot about that part!  True that.

“Suicide”… Hmm

Anyone married to a woman argues. And the ones that are married to ladyboys aren't a picture of stability either I wouldn't think. 

[gravia]

Check the fingerprints on the knife , why did they not sleep together, found in bed  must have been blood every where.

Please do not generalise.You are confirming that YOUR Thai wife is very difficult to live with. Mine is not.

Forget about him slitting his own throat. Of course that is possible, but how could he do that AND  then somehow stabbed or cleaved himself in the chest with the chopping knife.

Where does it say that he "stabbed or cleaved himself in the chest?

According to the OP:- 

"A chopping knife was found on his chest"

Note: Not IN his chest!

The clever wasn't in his chest. It was LAYED on his chest.

Maybe he stabbed himself before, and seeing he could not succeed, slit his throat. But even that is suspicious, because slitting one throat with a chopping knife is dubbious.

If you think hanging is any better, it isn't.

But since we are here to discuss it, none of us have that level of depression/mental illness to understand what would motivate someone to do that.

When you hang it cuts off the blood flow to the bain and you would pass out in a couple of minutes and feel nothing more.......Less painful than a high-rise swan dive I think....

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm….suicide is the first thing i thought of too, clearly a suicide( not sure how common it would be though)

He might of had problems but come on,only some one who is very very crazy would choose to end it this way...

[Frankie baby]

Hope the police check for prints on the cleaver. But for my money, whose name is the house in?

Follow the money. 

[Hanuman2547]

Very suspicious circumstances.  Obviously the Thai wife has got to be a prime suspect at this point.  

[FinChin67]

On public Finnish FB page "Thailand friends" there is a mention from one writer that he sold his property in Finland and moved to Thailand. Bought 4 million house, car, motorcycles, Sauna and so on. This wife attacked friend of his once. He says that his life situation was in order but the close circle (meaning family) here in Thailand was not.

I think it's easy to say - for the wife - that the guy had suicidal thoughts etc. at home in Finland as she well knows that Thai police will not check it and wants to close to case quickly. There's nothing in for them (maybe).

I'll update if I see or hear anything else.

 

+ after seeing the photos of him he is quite a big guy and I think he must have been drugged before slitting his throat or he was sleeping (if that's the case, but I personally do not believe in suicide). Hopefully they do an autopsy and there are some people in contact with police with background info.

Only If he medicated himself.  The pain would have been excruciating.

maybe he medicated himself with a large bottle of whisky?

[Topah]

In Finnish Facebook groups people who knew this guy said cannot be suicide. The lady in other hand has attacked one of the Facebook group members in the past. I am not sure what is truth. There is photos also online about the man buying nice house, cars, sauna etc. He pretty much had everything to settle down after selling everything in Finland.

Is it even physically possible to slit your own throat and then voluntarilty lie still until you bleed to death?

I believe it was the traditional way for certain classes of Japanese women to commit suicide.

It is possible for someone to slit their own throat and then lie still until they bleed to death. However, it is not common for individuals to be able to commit suicide in this way. 

The act of cutting one's own throat requires a significant amount of force, and it is difficult to do so without causing extreme pain and trauma to oneself. Furthermore, after inflicting such a wound, the natural reaction of the body would be to attempt to stop the bleeding and seek medical attention.

In some cases, a person may be able to overcome their instinctual response to seek medical attention and lie still until they bleed to death. However, it is important to note that suicide is a complex issue, and there may be many factors at play in any given situation

Its hard to imagine cutting your own throat as a chosen method of suicide. Especially with the cut being so deep it entered the windpipe.

[Purdey]

People have to be very depressed to commit suicide. Maybe his wife didn't notice but that is unlikely. My uncle was an alcoholic and tried to kill himself numerous times. He succeeded with an open razor. I think his depression was obvious to the whole family but in the 60s there wasn't that much help outside of big cities.

I believe the goal with hanging is to fall far enough that your body weight snaps your neck,

Yes, that is the purpose of the "Hangman Knoose".  The 13 coils of the rope are placed to the side of the neck, not directly behind the neck.  The coils will tilt the head which causes the weight of the body to snap the neck and sever the spinal cord causing almost instantaneous death.  If hung with just a slip knot it's a slow strangulation or even a decapitation depending on how long the drop.

 I now know 3 close firends, expats, who killed themselves in Thailand.  I don't know for this one, but the others were severe depressed and not happy in their relationship. Life was sucked out of them. No more fun. Their Thai dream was one big disappointment for them resulting in suicide.  Keeps you thinking what is wrong?

Sounds like a typo was corre Ted and then reading into it they were married Thai style and not a true marriage as it was never registered as one at the Amphur. Either that or they were narried in Finland but then never went to the Amphur here to solidify it on Thai soil... doesn't really matter as the poor Finnish  man is hopefully RIP.

So many women, so little time, plan B and Plan C needed, never invest all...have to have a fall back plan to continue living.  Mental health is not a joke and there is help available....many just don't reach out.
