9 years in Phuket and that's how it ends. One doesn't know the reasons that drove him to this but they must have been heavy.

Fortunately, he left a note, so hopefully, this will keep the conspiriacy theorists from assuming he was physically pushed.

Regardless of the circumstances, he was a young man. RIP.

very sad. one must be going through a heck of a lot of anguish to take ones own life.

may he be at peace now.

Very sad. My condolences to his friends and family.

Without wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist it would be interesting to know a little more about the suicide note. For example I wonder if it was written in German, German-English or Thai-English.

It was in English, according to Siangtai...

If we must die, let it not be like hogs

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

If we must die, O let us nobly die

So that our precious blood may not be shed

In vain; then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!

Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,

And for their thousand blows deal one death blow!

What though before us lies the open grave?

Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,

Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

Obviously, he had no fight left...................RIP

Rest in peace, Alex.

I was friends with Alex and used to dive with him at the same dive centre in Koh Tao, he was a lovely bloke who was very well liked. So sad that it ended like this.

If anyone else on here knows him, you can alos pay your respects on his facebook page.

I will miss him. RIP Alex.
