A tragic incident unfolded in Pattaya when a 32-year-old PR woman took her own life after being deceived in an online jade auction, resulting in a loss of 50,000 baht. Despite efforts by her boyfriend to comfort and support her, she ultimately succumbed to her overwhelming stress.

 

On the night of October 8, the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre in Pattaya received an urgent call about a woman who had attempted suicide by hanging at a residence in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. The rescue team immediately coordinated with the Nong Prue police and rushed to the scene.

 

 

Upon arrival, the team found Mr. Somchai (name changed), 39, the woman’s boyfriend, in a state of deep distress. He had discovered his girlfriend, Ms. Niphaporn (surname withheld), unconscious after using a pillowcase to hang herself from the iron bars of their bedroom window. Mr. Somchai had taken her down before rescuers arrived, and the emergency team quickly attempted CPR to revive her. Unfortunately, Ms. Niphaporn passed away shortly after, leaving her family in profound grief, with relatives collapsing in tears at the scene.

 

In his statement, Mr. Somchai explained that his girlfriend had been under intense stress after falling victim to an online jade auction scam, where she lost more than 50,000 baht. Adding to her distress, she was battling depression and was on medication for substance abuse recovery. He had tried to reassure her, promising to help recover the lost money, but the emotional toll proved too much for her to bear.

 

Late that night, Mr. Somchai entered the bedroom and was horrified to find his girlfriend had hung herself. He immediately intervened and called the rescue team for help, but despite their best efforts, they could not save her.

Police Lieutenant Yatthiphong Chiamphuak from Nong Prue Police Station has ordered that Ms. Niphaporn’s body be transferred to Bang Lamung Hospital for storage and sent for an autopsy at the Police General Hospital’s forensic institute. Family members have been summoned for questioning to assist in the investigation.
