A Thai medical student reportedly committed suicide by leaping from the 21st floor of his condominium, located within the premises of the Lerdsin Hospital in the Silom neighbourhood of Bangkok.

 

The deceased was identified as 24 year old Jirasak Prakartpeasat, who was a sixth-year student at the Rungsit University, and a medical student trainee at Lerdsin Hospital at the time of the incident. Jirasak was found lying dead outside the 28-floor building inside the hospital premises in his grey pyjamas. The final-year medical student’s trainee card was found nearby his body.

 

The discovery of Jirasak’s body was made by a group of security guards who were having a morning meeting 20 meters away from the scene.

 

From the security camera footage, Jirasak was seen walking out of his room alone on the 21st floor at about 5.30am. He was heading to the fire exit before tragically leaping from the window within the fire exit.

 

The superintendent of the Yananwa Police Station, Kantapon Phoar, reported that no visible wounds or signs of struggle were found on Jirasak’s body. Furthermore, no suspicious items were discovered in his room, no suicide note was found and no messages were left for his family or friends.

 

Jirasak’s mother and brother revealed to the police that he had been working as a student trainee at the hospital for over three years. He did not suffer from any congenital diseases or mental health issues.

The pressure of studying became too much maybe? A sad ending to a young life. R.I.P.

And also maybe pressure not to lose face from his family. Probably pressure to become a working professional.
