Army Reserve Officer commits suicide close to train track in East Pattaya

PATTAYA:--An Army reserve officer hung herself from a tree located next to the Train Track in East Pattaya on Thursday afternoon.

Police and rescue workers were called to the area close to Soi Neun Plub Wan and saw the body of Reserve Sub Lieutenant Promreutong aged 30, hanging from a high branch in the tree. She was initially seen climbing the tree by passers-by who were powerless to prevent her from hanging herself.

One man did attempt to climb the tree and help her but she died before the man could attempt a rescue. Clenched in her right hand was the key to a motorbike she had rented from a shop in the Banglamung area. Police did mention that she pulled up on her motorbike and attempted to cross the road on-foot twice and was nearly run over by cars. She did eventually jump the central reservation barrier and climbed the tree

she brought the rope with her...

maybe she rented the motorbike to look out for a suitable spot...

I actually was there as this was happening ,but did not realize straight away that it was a suicide ,it was the wife that first saw the guy in the tree ,he must have been the one trying to stop her ,then we saw a pair of legs hanging ,gave us a bit of a shock ,we left as all hell was breaking loose with hundreds of people coming from the market to see what was happening .

poor soul ,but what a hell of a place to do it in front of so many people.

RiP. Another waste of life. Makes me realize just how lucky I am.

How does not wanting to commit suicide make you lucky?

Very sad indeed. RIP
