chooka Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) At least three farangs in 3 days (Auusie, japanese German) who have apparently fallen for the wrong type of Thai girl (or ladyboy) and topped themselves.

madmitch Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Why use the word "tumbles" in the headline? Jumps, dives, leaps, maybe plummets but it was not a tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 There is no evidence the man jumped. If one wants to kill himself, a 3rd floor balcony is not where you jump from. I know it is hard to believe but sometimes people do fall accidently. We owe t to the injured man not to speculate and damage his reputation.

Hard for me to reconcile the 'tumbles' headline = an accidental fall, and the letter left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite so, Watson, but an even bigger mystery is: “Staff at Vachira Hospital confirmed to the Phuket Gazette late this morning that the German has a blood clot in his brain and is in the intensive care unit (ICU), on life support with a feeding tube. The Gazette is withholding the name of the deceased until relatives or next of kin have been informed.” Why keep a dead man on ICU and drip?
