After 17 years of faithful service... why is it convenient?

When was the will written to leave everything to the maid? Why would someone just give up on life and shoot themselves? Too many questions conveniently being pushed aside

She was here living alone after a good life, she was recently divorced and had cancer... she decided to end her life whie she had some dignity left.

Instead of her estate going to others she decided to alter her will so it would go to the one person who stood by her side for over seventeen years.

Sometimes you can read between the lines.

serious question...

 

french citizen, did she not have any family left? 

 

and...

 

does the maid have to pay FRANCE inheritance tax on the 50 million before getting the money?

I suspect the maid's life expectancy just got a whole lot shorter.

Possibly,...But she will have soo many friends that want nothing than the best for her from now on,...

Would the opposite be possible?
I mean if a rich Thai without children left an inheritance to a foreigner, perhaps a lover of him\her, is it possible?

I have doubts...

What do you think?

If there was no will, then the Thai's parents and siblings would have the inheritance.

If there was a will, then they may contest it.

Did the police find out how the woman came into possession of the gun she used ? 

Maybe bought it with the plus 50 m.

TIT: I am sceptic: was she helped !?

No, the inheritance is in Thailand.

It appears the lady lived alone. Didn't the maid live-in? Seems not, the article says she was informed the next day. So she didn't discover the body, then who did? If maid/friend for 17 years, why didn't she live in when her boss had cancer? How did the lady have a gun? A lot of unanswered questions.

What a load of rubbish. Not every maid lives in !!!  I also have a kind and trusting home help. While I do have relatives, she will be on the list alongside.

Perhaps step out of the broom cupboard where you live and look around the great big world that we live in.

Have you heard of assisted suicide?

Euthanasia?

DNR (do not resuscitate/living will)?

Lots of people 'give up on life' when the living is not worth the reward.

I have informed family and friends that I will take one of these options when the list of chronic diseases that I have, become 'not worth the effort'.

I already have the organ/body donation in place along with a DNR at the main hospital where live.

I have also given away the properties that I own.

So maybe, just maybe, it was suicide.

It happens more often than you seem to realise.

Exactly,  but suspicious deaths are all suicides in this Country of Maggots.

 

Was there a suicide note?

 

She was adjusting her cctv the day before she died, why was she doing that? Was she concerned about her personal safety?

assisted suicide 

As always the Thai police are very comfortable when the death of an expat is not too complicated, why give bad publicity to Thailand with suspicious deaths, that is always their order.

Here there are too many suspicious elements and if the police would do the work they don't want to do it would be more credible.

 

A Frenchwoman who has money can always choose a more peaceful death such as euthanasia which is practised in Belgium and Switzerland.

lucky for the world that you are not a tax accountant. Shes a thai lady not French. Why on earth would she owe the french revenue dept anything

Thailand is suspicious country both in relations between westerners with local population and relations between "professionals" with westerners. On the back door always involved m.o.n.e.y.......

Τhai - Ukranians-Russia as well as African origin people are focused in "easy life"and their usual haunds is usually outside of Shopping Centers asking "general questions" and "directions" because foreigners usually westerners are in their "priority list".......

 

Sounds like she didn't want a slow drawn out painful death, brave woman

I hope this situation is resolved quickly and the estate goes to a deserved person, as deemed to be, by the legal system.

how convenient for the maid

All the toxic people around already started to target the poor maid who most probably never suspected that something so tragic could ever happen. Narcissists always tend to equate everything with money. They don't know, they have understanding of human empathy. 

A very sad story, i hope at least the maid gets to lead a long and comfortable life.

Heard a story about some one in angleles similar,he looked after her well would have being well after he died.She tried to greedy got caught out got nothing.so this maid or helper did the right thing and got rewarded.But she killed herself sad end
