Poor bloke R.I.P condolences to the family ----------------------- From the way i read the article it was the other way around.

Para Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) police said he may have suffered an hallucination that drove him to jump from the building. Wasa not directed at you but how on earth can police make such a comment without a toxicology screen? Unless he suffered from a mental condition hence the hospital visit but if the doctors were to garner that much info how can they let him leave without help???? Oh sorry now I get it. Lets blame drug taking tourists regardless that way no investigation needed. Another life lost. R.I.P. Edited January 3, 2013 by Para Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 "Unless he suffered from a mental condition" Which he did according to the reports. Sorry the way I read it he was suffering from hallucinations and went to the hospital 'but "left without anyone noticing".' There are many ways to hallucinate with out suffering a mental condition. No judgement just an observation. His mates told the coppers he was hallucinating. Nice mate! They know their friend is in trouble regardless of cause and leave him alone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcrab Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 very tragic for all concerned...and sadly occurred whilst in Thailand, presumably on holiday. This also happens far too frequently in Australia as well .... one only has to watch the local news to see what happens on the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise.
