Community Mentally Ill Man Jumps to His Death from Hospital After Two-Hour Negotiation Fails
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 28-year-old man suffering from mental illness died after jumping from the 10th floor of Yala Hospital on the evening of 4 May, despite desperate attempts by family members and medical personnel to dissuade him for over two hours. The incident occurred around 19:05, when police at Muang Yala Police Station were alerted to a potential suicide attempt at the hospital. Emergency responders, including rescue teams from Mae Thaptim and Mae Ko Nia Yala, rushed to the scene. The man, dressed in black, had reportedly entered the private patient ward before fleeing to the balcony at the rear of the 10th floor. Police, doctors, nurses, and rescue workers immediately began negotiating with him in hopes of preventing a tragedy. At 20:25 officers brought in the man’s relatives to help with the effort. However, despite continued appeals and emotional pleas, the man jumped just ten minutes later, landing on a rooftop below before bouncing to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have since confirmed that the deceased was receiving treatment for psychiatric issues, though it remains unclear how he was able to reach the high-level balcony unattended. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -

Community Anthrax Death Reported in Mukdahan Province
UPDATE Anthrax Confusion in Mukdahan: Still Trying to Trace Origin of Outbreak Picture courtesy of Matichon. Health authorities in Mukdahan are scrambling to trace the source of an anthrax outbreak that has already claimed one life and infected two others, as conflicting test results complicate efforts to pinpoint the origin. Dr Narong Chankaeo, Provincial Public Health Officer, confirmed that three cases of anthrax have been identified so far in Don Tan District, one of which resulted in death. Two other patients remain under hospital care, while 98 individuals are being closely monitored for symptoms, primarily those who may have been exposed through skin contact or ingestion. No cases of respiratory anthrax have been detected, which would require a longer 60-day observation period. The investigation has focused on two cattle slaughtering operations. The first, on 12 April, was linked to the deceased and the confirmed patients. The second, on 28 April, involved a separate group, with no apparent connection to the first. However, spore tests from the second site returned positive for anthrax, while no spores were detected at the first, the one associated with the fatalities. Health officials were further alarmed when environmental samples taken from the deceased’s home revealed anthrax spores on both a chopping board and a knife. This discovery suggests indirect contamination and highlights the difficulty in tracing the exact origin of the infection. “We now face the difficult task of determining how the infection entered the first slaughter group, since environmental tests from that location showed no signs of the bacteria,” Dr Narong explained. Questions have arisen about whether the contaminated beef may have originated outside the province. However, investigations have so far yielded no confirmation, and no one has admitted to importing cattle or meat from other areas. In response, local authorities have launched a comprehensive sanitation campaign in the affected area of Lao Mee subdistrict. Disinfectant has been distributed to every household, with particular focus on cleaning food preparation equipment. Talks are also underway about providing new chopping boards and knives to residents to restore public confidence. When asked about the effectiveness of the current decontamination measures, Dr Narong said follow-up tests might be necessary, though this decision lies with the provincial livestock department. The investigation continues amid public concern and a race against time to prevent further infections. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -

Kamala Harris Faces Uncertain Path to 2028 as Democrats Weigh Future
Not a big fan but I think except for a few major errors, she ran an incredible campaign. But the people wanted fascism, cheaper eggs, and to scapegoat immigrants and LGBT people. In fairness, she deserves another shot to COMPETE for the nomination if there is a real election by then.
