Nawtier Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Anybody hear about an Italian guy killed in bkk on a motorbike on or about the 20th of November ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why would that be news, unless it's a personal friend? Thais are killed every day on motorbikes and nobody blinks an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokcitylimits Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why would that be news, unless it's a personal friend? Thais are killed every day on motorbikes and nobody blinks an eye. He was not a Thai but an Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not a Thai but an Italian. That's just the point. Why should it matter whether it's a Thai or an Italian. It's only important news if the deceased is a friend or relative of yours.

angiud Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Being Italian, I'm interested to know if he is somebody I know personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surayu Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why should it matter whether it's a Thai or an Italian. Because as a general rule a foreigner which dies on a country which it's not his own make it to the news, being this an expats forum it's natural for people to make enquiries about it too, it's rather strange that hasn't been reported yet, thanks to the OP for pointing this out, yes i am curious to know if it's somebody i know too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawtier Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have been told who it was and I know/knew him.....but the people telling us have no details about the how and why and where etc. Also it has come via someone else who got the news from a good friend of the deceased. So, I would have thought it would have made news somewhere if correct, especially as in Bkk and not some hick out of the way place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Speaking of retards, have you even called the Italian Embassy -- you don't say what you have in fact done to help others narrow the search...

powderpuff Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 OK let me try. I heard a rumor that someone was killed on a motorbike. Any truth to that rumor? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surayu Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ok let's resume it, Nawtier is aware of the name of an italian which died in Bangkok in a motorcycle accident, he got these info second or third hand but nothing else has come up so far, if you don't want to put the name in the forum, would you mind to share what you know by pm? so we might eventually get some more info by cross checking what we got available....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forward the name I have if you wish to know, but not publicly as we are still not sure. From the info at hand, it is him, but do not wish to say it here just in case. The reason for posting this was hopefully someone had seen a news article on it, here or elsewhere and I would like to read the details of how it happened and where exactly. So, the other posters wanting to know intimate details of where he lived and so on are pointless in relation to finding what my OP requested...and that was anyone hearing about it in the news. If jazzbo wished to carry on as a fool and not quite thought out enough know it all, cut loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor ones that you happen to know and wish to find information on right ? To add to your highly thought out statement....I wonder actually if there really is thousands of Italians killed everyday in Italy on their own roads....lets take your well thought out figure of 1000'3...thats more than 1000, so lets say 2000 x 365 = 730,000 people killed on the roads in Italy every year.....you are a clever chappy hey !!!

steelepulse Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 What's the Italian embassy say about this? Surely they would have been notified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If there is a fatality involving a citizen of Italy and that person was carrying personal ID, then these people know about it:.. if the person was NOT carrying ID, then they can help you locate any hospital which may have an unidentified fatality from the date described ... all else including newspaper reports and hearsay is bunk.

angiud Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 From Automobile Club of Italy, offcial data for 2009: Nel 2009 gli incidenti stradali rilevati in Italia sono stati 215.405, causando il decesso di 4.237 persone, mentre altre 307.258 hanno subito lesioni di diversa gravità (Prospetto 1). Ciò significa che ogni giorno, durante il 2009, si sono verificati mediamente 590 incidenti stradali che hanno comportato lesioni alle persone1, precisamente la morte di 12 persone e il ferimento di altre 842. Rispetto al 2008, si riscontra una diminuzione del numero degli incidenti (-1,6%) e dei feriti (-1,1%) Accidents Dead wounded So nearly 12 dead a day.

Loz Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Does the OP know there can be a BIG difference between being killed on a bike and dying on a bike. I suspect nobody was KILLED but someone may have had an accident and died as a result. small but valuable point, is as much as if I had not thought there was foul play I could have side stepped the landmine that is this moribund thread!
