Farang Die Of Viagra Overdose

[likewise]

Mr Aloha you are absolutely right. Too many old farang come here pop themselves full of viagra all to have sex with a young girl.

Try doing that in their country??? Most young girls in their own country look at them as old, dirty men.

If you can't get a hard on anymore maybe it's time to pack it (him) in.

[jaapfries]

Some of you people amaze me with your comments when you don't know sh1t. The doctor said it was most likely from a viagra overdose but an autopsy would still have to be performed. You lot don't know what the stomach meds were or if it was genuine viagra or what, and you're making all your own minds up of what happened. The Thai autorities have contacted his embassy and everything seems to be above board so far, so shut up with your stupid comments.

The man is dead and that is sad. I'm sure his family wouldn't be too happy to read the drible you are posting. My condolences to his family and friends.

I am just amazed at the contents & the tone of 99% of the responses on this particular topic. How dare you make a fairly 'un-dignified' situation even more so ?!?!? Most of you people out there: "go and smell the roses" - it is pretty obvious that the "Neanderthal" is very much alive & well ! ! !

THANK YOU "Kringle" for being one of the (sadly) few voices of reason on this one !

It's very hard to read this without wanting to post a joke.

Remember that this guy has probably got family.

Drug overdose is very sad, whether heroin, viagra, or aspirin.

there are some very capable thai forensic pathologist in this country. overdoses amoung farang are very common here. it is easy to call people stupid from the bully pulpit and i wonder sometimes why people who think thai people are stupid choose to live here and what their point of reference is? is the point of reference their own superior intellect being from a western country? somehow to me you are missing the point here in thailand.

There are probably some very incapable ones too, especially when it comes to the death of a farang. The usually just don't care enough to waste their time with, especially in places like Pattaya.

I imagine that most of the people having a joke have taken viagra. Count your blessings that it didn't happen to you. Think of what your family would think, instead of getting a cheap laugh.

Condolences to this man's family and friends.

I cant understand many people, my friends included who buy Viagra from street vendors in bar areas. Who knows whats in these fake, cheap tablets. I dont need Viagra but if I did I would first go to a Doctor and get a check up and only take the Viagra and the dose he prescribed for me.

[Mighty Mouse]

In most countries you can't get Viagra without a doctors prescription.

They are slowly tightening the requirements in Thailand. I can remember when you could get valium over the counter in Thailand but now need a doctors script.

Some people are their own worst ememy when it comes to swallowing drugs without getting proper medical advise first.

I've seen documentaries on the backyard manufacture of fake drugs. Unfortunately many of these are freely available in Thailand. Pharmacies have a lot to answer for. Profit seems to be the overall ruling factor with customer care non-existent.

[sriracha john]

A doctor, called from Patong Hospital, said that the death was most likely caused by overdosing on the sexual stimulant, leading to heart failure.

It's always amazing.

How come a doctor can be so assertive before to do some tests and proper examinations, and also by investigating the health history of this man ?

And also, "viagra overdose" doesn't mean anything...

-did he suffer from heart disease ?

-did he take the viagra with other products (like nitrate products for instance poppers that can lead to dangerous drops in blood pressure) ?

etc. etc.

As usual in Thailand, it's children level thinking : "oh look there is an empty viagra pack into the basket... there is a dead corpse on the bed... so as 1+1 = 5 this man is dead from an overdose of viagra".

It might be also a poor level in journalism.

I can appreciate that English is not your first language, mraloha, but you need to understand some things before going on your tirade with cclub.

First, how many forensic pathologists are assigned to Patong hospital? Answer.... zero. This was no forensic pathologist making the hypothesis, most likely some General Practitoner. The evidence of that is that no reputable forensic pathologist would be stupid enough to issue a statement at the scene. To put forth a "likely cause" of death at the scene in this situation is TOTALLY irresponsible and EXTREMELY reckless. Any forensic pathologist making similar remarks would have been fired for such flagrant disregard for medical integrity.

The previous sentence is what cclub was addressing, not all the accessory issues you assigned to him in your tirade.

Cclub was ABSOLUTELY correct in his statements and assessment.

All,

Just some thoughts I have about this from Thailand.....

There have been fake Viagra/Komagra out there but I doubt that it is now sold in the Pharmacys. MAYBE this guy took a batch of the fake and could not get results. The next batch he took too much.

Pharmacys have tightened up with distribution....cost and availability have shown this.

"Did you hear about the school boy who took some Viagra? He got third degree burns on his hands!"

There have been several stories about Viagra in the news.

Hope all this news does not &lt;deleted&gt; it up for everybody,

In FarangLand we are teached to take only ONE Viagra, prescribed by the Doctor. The pharmacies here say: Take two. Some people can, some can't take it. They just die on the hole. Sad.

Be careful when you are horny!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

George, that has to be the best Freudian slip I have read in ages..

I wasn't sure if he was trying to say "whole" or "ho"

Several years ago I had a Canadian friend that had penile dysfunction and predates Viagra. Before he would come over to LOS he would get a prescription from his doctor for a vial of injectable "enhancer". He said the girls found it fascinating to see him sticking a needle into his, well no need to elaborate. He could go for 2-3 hours afterwards.

Personally I think I would rather be celibate then to do that.

Two to three hours !!!!!! &lt;deleted&gt; !!!!

I think the girls would find it a lot more than "fascinating." I wonder how many bottles of baby oil he went through each session.

Viagra accelerates the heart and there are increasing reports of deaths from the drug due to heart failure. One has to assume the same thing happened to this fellow. I've heard rumors that over 60 westerners dying monthly from Viagra in the Pattaya area. The numbers in Florida are even more dramatic. The company still swears it is safe and approved by the FDA.

[pascharay]

comedy is some breaking their leg. Tragedy is your getting a paper cut

I think that is a bit of an exaggeration ! !

Perhaps his decimal point is in the wrong place, I doubt if that many westerners are dying each month in Pattaya for ALL possible reasons.

Although the Ramones are my favourite band, I can't see what they have to do with the price of viagra in Thailand.

What's so odd about 2-3 hours? Quite normal for some of us. Plenty of water needed to keep one's fluid levels up in this country, though...

My condolences to the guy's family.

Yeh and Pfizer also said that Vioxx was safe with FDA approval. That has just killed an estimated 88,000 - 139,000 people!!

Better to take the natural alternative CHRYSIN. One of the reasons for sexual disfunction is that as we get older testosterone gets converted to Estrogen. By the time a man gets to 54 on average he has a higher level than a woman of 59!

CHRYSIN (a compound from the passion flower plant) blocks that conversion. Restoring sexual function, improving cognative decline and helps the heart. It also has a natural anti-anxiety effect (comparable to a diazepam) and anti-viral properties.

Its unpatentable, so its not interesting for big pharma to be selling it.

Its available on the web, try the non-profit organisation www.LEF.org

Please be nice here now...

Thanks!

Come on George.

You have got to admit it is very tempting subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soi Oz]

It's strange for a Doctor to call it heart failure. Heart failure is a progressive chronic disease and not of itself a cause of death.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I reckon that your heart failing (i.e. stopping) is pretty much guaranteed to cause death!

[bluie]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

likewise, you sound to be of a younger age, and have no idea what it is like to get

old where in western countrys even most of the older ladies who have lost there partners turn to there familys and do not seek another relationship while the dirty old men as you call them can still enjoy a sex life after a reasonable period of morning for there departed, in the western world they have little chance of that, so many who have learned of Thailand travel here to find out for themselves and some are fortunate enough to find a Thai lady who will care for them and I mean realy care for them in exchange for the security they can give, I find with Thai ladies they do not care about age or even looks but if the falang has a good heart and is prepaired to take good care of them and there family "within reason" then everyone can be happy.

As for the other "dirty old men" why are you here? dose the young girls in your country look at you as a dirty old man? most guys who come here for a holiday and are getting on in years are having a last fling and just maybe one day you will be in there situation, so before you go shooting your mouth off just think what you are saying, and maybe the guy who lost his life was in need of some love in his life, maybe he was paying for love, but now he has paid the ultimate price.

My condolances to his family and friends.

[silk123]

I'm sick of seeing this another farang overdosed on viagra topic.

Check how much money the guy had in his belt. it wont be 100,000 bahts worth in us dollars i'll tell you that. maybe 2,000 looks ok.

Everyone knows happy foreign birdshiits or whatever they call us are always falling of the side of buildings or wells or knocked of bikes or drowned when there is profit seen to be made by lowlifes.

I'm so sick of seeing topics like this with just token excuses for death. Anyone of us could be next even if we keep out of things.

[ozzydom]

What a callous lot of smart &lt;deleted&gt; the majority of posters to this topic are, A man is dead for whatever reason and all you can do is make hyperthetical ill founded judgements on his personality and lifestyle.

Try giving a caring thought for a person whose life has been tragically ended and for the family and friends he has left behind.

That's not what 'heart failure' means. It means that your heart is not able to work effeciently, not that it stops altogether.

[jaideeguy]

just wondering.....was it the real viagra or kamegra [one of those indian knockoff's that seem to do the job]?? and also wondering if anyone out there has had any adverse effects from the cheap indian knockoffs?

and FYI.....i couldn't think of a better way to go than to be 'in the saddle' and have a quick and painless way to go. much better than a slow painful, humiliating death, so maybe he was a lucky guy!!

[bobby68]

PATONG: -- Pekka Juhani Laakso, 47, from Finland, was yesterday found dead in his room at the Sun, Sea & Sand Hotel on Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Rd, seemingly from an overdose of Viagra.

Excuse me, does anybody know in which room Mr. Laakso died ?

We just arrived at the same day, when they found him, just a bit later...

[britmaveric]

Dunno if you have to go - far worse ways IMHO. Death by shagging.

[pascharay]

rumors are prone to exaggeration as are the assumptions of a forensic eyeballing the clutching hands of a dead man to issue an on-the-spot assumption. They must have gone to the Quincy, ME School of Detectives. My numbers come from absolutely reliable sources of misinformation, however the numbers of westerners dying in thailand are more than you think.

"I don't keep body counts." tommy franks US general

And no oen does here too.

the ramones are almost all dead.

Sad to say

None from viagra overdose.

JEEZ.........Now I know why I`m growing tits

[sanook1]

any chance of an investigation as to why this took place? Who was the girl he was with, what does she say about things??
