A 21-year-old woman was dramatically rescued from a suicide attempt in her car after being discovered by a food delivery rider on the evening of January 28.

 

At approximately 18:00 Surin Rescue Association received a report of a grey Honda Jazz parked on the roadside of the Surin- Sikhonphum highway, opposite the entrance to the National Housing Authority Village in Salak Dai sub-district, Mueang Surin. The vehicle had reportedly been stationary since 10:00 raising concerns.

 

Emergency responders arrived to find the woman unconscious but still alive, inside a locked car. She had attempted to take her own life by lighting charcoal inside a pan, filling the vehicle with toxic fumes. The woman was covered in sweat, weak, and disoriented. She was swiftly removed from the vehicle and transported to Surin Hospital for urgent medical attention.

 

The woman, identified only as Ms A, is a resident of Kap Choeng district, Surin. Inside the car, rescue workers discovered a handwritten farewell letter addressed to whoever found her body. It included instructions regarding her wish to donate her body to a hospital in Bangkok, along with a donor card.

 

Part of the letter read:

 

"To the person who finds this body, I have already taken my last breath. I have decided to donate my body (as per the attached card). Please inform my family about my donation. Thank you sincerely to everyone who has helped me."

 

Another section of the note expressed her emotional struggles:

 

"I am not sad. I am just exhausted from growing up, from a society that constantly demands competition and survival. I have felt this way since childhood. I never cared about staying alive. Whenever death comes, I will not resist it.

 

P.S. I am not leaving in sorrow. I feel at peace. The world will keep turning-I just got tired of fighting, so I left early."

 

A member of Surin Rescue Association explained that the report was made by a food delivery rider who had noticed the car parked in the same spot for hours. When rescue workers arrived, they found the woman barely responsive, drenched in sweat, and struggling to speak coherently. It is suspected she may have taken sleeping pills before attempting to end her life.

 

 

Authorities managed to retrieve her mobile phone and contact her family. Her condition remains under medical supervision at Surin Hospital.

 

The exact reasons behind her actions remain unclear. However, authorities have handed over the farewell letter and donor card to emergency hospital staff for further handling.

 

If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help.

A lot of times, if someone survives this type of suicide attempt, it can cause permanent brain damage and leaving the person end up living in a vegetative state....
