Poor child and wife.

Is it really necessary to release a photo of the guy still hanging there?

Horrible isn't it - I think the photo of the distraught wife is not neccessary either.

The people that run PDN really are a disgrace IMO.

Hope nobody that knows this guy sees that report.

Case closed

At least the wife isn't smiling or smirking in this one.

The police made notes of the incident and investigated his wife in detail, before sending the corpse to perform an autopsy to find the exact cause of death.

Who writes this stuff? Almost like a school field trip report.

So this lady was/is spending 4 hours each day to drop/pickup the kid from school?

Seems legit.

The number of missing people and suicides of westerners seems to be on the rise in Thailand over the last decade which makes Bangkok the nUmber one city in the world for travel splendor......

I suppose its to be expected on an expat website that the phrase he had a drink problem (but he wasnt troubled) escapes comment.

Perhaps that is a euphamism for money worries?

Anyway whatever the circumstances...RIP.

My 8 year son over here in Khampaeng Phet province catches the school bus around 6 am and gets back about 12 hours later.

He travels 65 km each way daily in school time.

I am up at 5am and wake my wife and son at 5.30 am.

Nothing unusual or smelling of rats that I can see.

Boggles the mind how something as simple as that eludes the esteemed and well trained boys in brown and their forensic team.
