Jai Dee Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Man falls to death from 64th floor of Bangkok condominium An unidentified man, believed to be a foreigner, jumped to his death from the 64th floor of the 68-floor State Tower Condominium early Friday, police said. Police said the apparent suicide happened at 2 am in Bangkok's Yannawa district. The man could not yet be identified but police believe he was a foreigner from an Asian country. Witnesses told police that he saw the man jumped from the 64th floor and landed on the rain-protection wall of a three-storey shop house.

easybullet3 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Lots of Japs come to thailand to commit suicide. even a friend of mine that works at the Vertigo Bar @ Banyan Tree hotel rooftop.. a japanese guy jumped off while she was on her shift. Japan used to have the worlds highest suicide rates,, (not sure if it still holds that record),, there are several websites in japan where people can meet -up and plan their suicide pact together. (lets put it down to japans introvert & pressureised way of life,, parents dont have the 'know how' or infomation on how to deal with their teenage kids problems. (sorry, off subject). anyway, it wouldnt suprise me if it was a japanese guy.. its not uncommon. (usually a gambling debt or terminal illness). (side story: when I was in japan several years ago, a nurse friend of mine at an international hospital said that she was on duty in a cancer ward. a wife was visiting her husband. she came to the nurses and asked why her husband was not in his bed. all the nurses looked for him, (under the bed, in the toilet etc),,, someone checked out the window and he was lying on the ground below.. (he jumped). But,, here is the shocker.... what did the hospital do? they ran downstairs and put him on a stretcher and carried him back up to his bed. (they presumed that since it was just 1 or 2 floors high that he wasnt injured and they DID NOT x-ray or check him!!!) they just put him back in bed as if nothing had happened!!! he died a short while later (i'm guessing of internal injuries).. absolutely amazing how they didnt check him and that they stuck him straight back to bed!! - anyway.. thats just ONE of many many many stories on how Sh*t the japanese hospitals and doctors are!! PS: I'm suprised that the guy in this bangkok suicide story wasnt found naked! seems most foreigners that are found dead in thailand are usually naked !!

Jingthing Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I am OK with people having this ultimate choice. But jumping is rude, you could kill other people or traumatize children and Canadians, and you make the Thai government officials spend money to clean up the mess that could have been better used buying viagra to buy votes. I know I am a shameless liberal but I would like to see a legal, legitimate medical way for people to be able to do this in a clean, safe (to others) and painless way. Jumping is not a painless way.

Jumping is not a painless way. Canadians? Why just Canadians? I agree with you and I have seen this happened quite a few times. Very selfish way! Now talking about a painless way, I know how. It is a very common way nowadays here in HK but talking about it I think is against forum rules. Do a google search yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
