I know the Thai papers do it , but does TV have to follow the same path.

Lets have some respect for the dead and remove the picture.

It's not like you can actually make out the person in the photo.....

RIP, so young, but drugs don't discriminate based on age.

If was anywhere else than Pattaya I wouldn't suspect 'foul play'.

My condolences to the family and friends--except for the 4 friends with the 'magic' elixir that cures addiction.

Small bottles of liquid to help a drug addiction sounds like he was given methodone, BKK Pattaya Hosp will hand this stuff out on request in large quantities, I know this not through personal experience but by seeing a close friend try and kick a heroin habbit.

A very sad waste of a life
