Maybe hallucinegetic drugs?

Why run upstairs & jump. Must be drugs

Sorry but this is the stupidest comment of the thread, maybe of the entire day. Have you ever taken hallucinogens? Did you ever jump off of a building if so? The whole 'LSD makes people jump from buildings' is propaganda and it is rarer than dying due to a meteor to the face. Heck alcohol is more probable than hallucinogens, sheesh

[Upset]

Oh Dear....another case for the TV CSI Squad!

[puppy009loko]

PROBABLY SMOKED YABA ............mke blood test and it should all be cleared why he jumped. but since he was throwing stuff at the staffs of the hotel means he was instable probably due to drugs and i know one kind of drugs that can make someone act lie that which is YABA

Let me guess. If I wanted to by some LSD, you would be the guy to talk to?

[godden]

Oh those thai ghosts are such little devils

What a seamen stained dump to meet your final demise in. Bad luck and R.I.P fella

I don't think the United States Navy ever stays there Jeremy.

Seaman Staines and Master Bates are regulars. The place is a filthy dump sure enough, infested with cockroaches and other vermin.

You seem surprisingly familiar with the Grand Old Lady of Soi 4. Too many sleepless nights?

[eldragon]

Sounds like the guy got into it with the wrong crowd. I've had a couple close calls down there myself... I'm guessing whoever was chasing him slipped past the hotel staff or paid off security, met the lad upstairs, and gave him the dump. Very sad. Nana and upper Sukhumvit as a whole can be a very scary place near dawn.

[Evolare]

He just fell....ummm right! And I just deadlifted 220kg's in the gym today by accident!

[Runamile]

Simple. The blood was over him because of his attempted suicide. Then he succeeded in his next suicide attempt from the Nana 5th floor.

Not in this country know, I don't even think it exists, if it does it would probably be low quality and extremely rare. Most Thai's don't even know what it is. But c'mon seriously, hallucinogens at age 54 and throwing yourself off of a building due to them, nope. More likely yaba/ice and or alcohol or some foul play

Anything after dusk in Nana is suspect. Pbai Nai, Nana?. Mai dai

yah you're so superior aren't you?

Not at all. I lived in Teja Lake View for 2 years. Believe I know the ins & outs of Nana. And you? Frequent visitor?

I remember the first time I wandered in there, had my meat and 2 veg fondled by a woman and a he/she before I could even get to the toilet. Happy days.

Oh wait it's mushroom season, figured it out guys, het kee kwai. 100% without a doubt

[geetee]

Likely heart attack I suspect

[Lingba]

once again and no doubt..as it will be listed as a suicide.....should we be surprised?

[AnotherOneAmerican]

Chased, caught, and thrown.

Most of the people I have ever seen acting irrationally and throwing things around have been drunk.

You forgot "Roger the cabin boy".

Most likely a case of being drugged it happens to newbie's a lot walk in to wrong bar. Find she is he get drugged go for grab find hot dog and no taco. I knew someone who was drugged ended up in jail punched two thai cops. I bailed him out next day and charges dropped after usual bribe. Bar was close to NANA too Soi 4 Osias I think. Maybe review of ATM video's can back track to see where he came from.

I was spiked back in 2011, lost my macbook and about 60k, didn't want to make me jump from a building.

Walking on soi nana need not be scary. it seems many an anthropologist would savor it as a "stroll though evolution"

[Suradit69]

another more than meets the eye

It seems Thai Visa Bar Stool Crime Scene Investigators (BS-CSI) never sleep.

"another more than meets the eye"

Someone really should be cataloging some of the pearls of wisdom that appear daily in these threads. Posterity should not be denied the opportunity to read them.

[Fatherfluffybottom]

Sounds like a case for Jessica Fletcher.

On a serious note. RIP.

Lets hope the truth comes out.

[csabo]

You would think landing on all those silicone cushions would soften his impact.

[choochoo]

Must be them ladyboys again.

Dont JuMp to conclusions. Although i wouldnt mind if some guy did a RAY RICE on one of those ladyboys hanging near NANA BTS. It bad enough where after 10 pm i go to other side of street to get to BTS. A crowded walk through moderate MuSlIM territory must i add................lol.

I've never had the pleasure of being around the Nana area of Bangkok, only heard things from people. Is it really that bad?

[choochoo]

Certainly something rather bizarre going on. As someone mentioned, it's possible that he was mickey finned. All very strange.

Did the article not say he was beaten?????????

[csabo]

Maybe hallucinegetic drugs?

Why run upstairs & jump. Must be drugs

Note to self: Always run DOWNSTAIRS before jumping

[tomyumchai]

but how he got to the 5th floor will ever remain a mystery.

Maybe he took the lift

he could have died from old age in going up in that lift, but the windows at the end of each corridor are lower than waist height and wide enough to fit 2 people through.
