Tragic end for fruit vendor in Chon Buri under hallucination

[snoop1130]

 

A 31 year old fruit vendor tragically ended his life in a rented room in Nong Kham, Chon Buri province. The incident took place on December 24 at 5pm. The man was reportedly hallucinating, firing his gun into the air and questioning neighbours about the presence of spirits, before eventually turning the gun on himself.

 

The local police, led by Lieutenant Colonel Kriksathiam Niamnud, responded to the scene alongside a medical examiner and the Sawang Prateep Sri Racha rescue unit. Upon arrival, they found the deceased man lying on his stomach near the room’s door with a gunshot wound to his chest. In his right hand was a locally made 0.38 calibre gun.

 

According to a caretaker at the accommodation, the deceased had fired his gun three times into the air before the tragic incident. He had then approached a neighbour, asking them if they were harbouring spirits, and claimed that he had just killed two. He then attempted to shoot the neighbour, but the gun jammed. After this, he returned to his room where a single gunshot was heard, after which he was found to have shot himself in the chest, reported Khao Sod.

Not that I would blame any of the neighbors (especially the one he tried to shoot but the gun jammed), I certainly hope they'll be checking to see if the bullet the guy took in the chest matches his gun.

Yes, he was only 31. Especially so if it was due to something like schizophrenia, which is so difficult to manage.
