Because if this person did commit suicide and did so in a car park, (and if the body had not been moved) then that's where the body would be found.

Never heard of a suicide doing it in a car park though

Your so clever you clearly don’t realise just how clever you are. What worries me more is who is going to treat you for believing any utterance coming from the Thai police. 

You are so cynical, you don't realise just how how cynical you are!

While it heart breaking for any parents to loose a child, on what evidence does the mother base her allegation and accusations against the RTP?

When people are suicidal, all it takes is a thought, and then it will happen. They can be driving down the road, listening to music they like, thinking of their girlfriend and how much she loves him, just having a great Thai lunch, then the next thought is, this life sucks, and will never get better, no matter what. What they don't realize at the time, is that was just another random negative thought, that it will pass, that an hour from now they might feel better, and look at things in a more positive way. Tomorrow can come if you allow it to. And tomorrow can be a great day. When you change your thinking, and wrong thinking happens to everyone a lot, the world doesn't look so bad, and if your next thought is going to see a professional, that could be the beginning of your climb out of the dark hole you're in now.

The 24 year old man from Brighton had been travelling in Thailand for a number of months before making his way to the Thai capital.

So what job was that... roving reporter?

R.I.P. young man

We don't know the full circumstances. Finding the body in a car park is a question, as suicides are usually  alone and unassisted. But presumably the police have the results of the autopsy, have traced his final movements (including CCTV if available) and have checked his finances and mobile phone over the last few weeks for any unusual transactions/interactions.

Didn't realize that there was a designated place for suicides.

I would assume she will get to know the reason on his suicide  by seeing the 

suicide note or the British Embassy staff informing her

RIP to the guy

Where you come from matters not at all. What happens in the UK is not for you to criticise just because you wish to have a dig at another country's methodology.

 

If you don't understand it - don't comment.

Yeah, obviously, but what method of suicide other than leaping from a high rise would result in you dying in a car park?

I feel for this lady I just lost my only son on 4 September and by the time his funeral takes place it will have been 5 weeks I don’t even know what he died off as I’m estranged from his mother and she is unwilling to give me any information regarding the cause of death he was 45 and in his later years he suffered with drink related issues I can only surmise that these issues contributed to his passing . Only to often do we hear of foreigners being found deceased outside apartment buildings I sometimes think the Thai police assume we all purposely end our lives I hope she will get the justice and answers she seeks ????????????️????????

May we send our deepest heartfelt sympathies to the family. He was young & in Thailand & for many of us with younger sons or daughters of this age not long out of university it is a deeply sad loss. Both ordinary Thais & Brits & other farangs will deeply feel your loss at this time.

Right, so if the RTP say he was murdered , you wouldn't believe them and you would claim that it was suicide ?

these are very serious accusations concerning the life of a child,

at 24 bucko he is very far from still being a child. my old man is 94 and i am nearing 60. i doubt anyone considers me a child.

Good grief.

So the British embassy didn't contact her???

Hmmmm…. Not easy in any country of the world. Once police make a decision that basically is it, right or wrong. We have had several examples in Australia. The police have a lot more power than any individual, and power is what this will be all about.

For months and nobody here knows what happened in that time. 

Many people are in Thailand and don't have any problems.

Anymore silly comments?

Breaking news Bangkok has car parks. :whistling:

 The mother can request an autopsy be performed at the Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) via the embassy.
