Taking out a beer and some chilli nuts, and sitting down in my favorite chair. Waiting for the Closseau-Team on AN to arrive.

He did not feel well, had to vomit and followed the content of his stomach ....... an actual headline in Pattaya Mail some +/- ten years ago explaining a "suicide"

another newssource:
Eyewitness accounts suggest that the man had been present on the Skytrain platform since 6am and his death was a result of a deliberate jump, as reported by Pol. Capt. Charoen.
