Thai-Indian Girl Commits Suicide In Burning Car

"Thai-Indian Girl Commits Suicide In Burning Car"

"......they found the body of Ms.Pittasnan Darsing aged 44 a Thai-Indian"

Interesting choice of words used in both the title and the article. First of all...44 years old can hardly be considered as a "girl".

Secondly, why is it necessary to use the word "Thai-Indian" ? (by the way, it should be written as "Indian-Thai", not "Thai-Indian")... But would you ever see someone use the phrase "Chinese-Thai" or any other nationality or ethnicity, if the person were to have Thai citizenship? For westerners yes, but you rarely see westerners with Thai citizenship. Indian-Thais are like the 2nd most common minority in the country. Perhaps in this article they're trying to say this lady was born outside of Thailand but immigrated? I don't know. But it's rare to see anybody that wasn't born in Thailand getting a Thai citizenship.

A utterly insane and painful way to commit suicide, so suicide is highly unlikely.

So many better and available ways to do it, but the BIB seem obsessed with

suicide as a concept for all unexplained deaths.

She was either;

injured in some way or mis-drugged and was unconscious till smoke killed her,

or this was a murder covered up by a fire.

Suicide should be way down the list of possibilities.

RIP the poor woman.

Your comments are made from a standpoint of having no idea at all about metal illness - and are subsequently non-sensical!

If someone is depressed enough rational thoughts go out the window - understand that and you'll be half way there!

One of those times the attached article actually had more than the usual drivelling repeats it.

Mea culpa. No, I actually had work to do today and didn't go deeper into links.

I based my comment on what was posted here,

and the predominant fascination of the police with calking everything suicide.

And that it is observably likely that the majority of horrible deaths attributed to suicide here,

are rarely thought really to be suicides, just face saving by the living.

Having been burned before it would take a hell of a lot of soporific drugs,

or violent abuse in my most depressed state ever, to do that.

Poor woman must have been far beyond distraught under normal depressive circumstances.

And I DO know about severe depression, and mental illness.

I was married to a seriously bipolar woman for 10 years.

I have had 3 friends committed over the decades for harming themselves or others.

And walked in 10 minutes after a friend shot himself under the chin,

who I had eaten dinner with the night before.

So best not to assume. But even better not to call names,

which scores no points nor helps a sad enough situation.

Perhaps those who have issues with reporters' language use should take it up with the original source.

ThaiVisa just re-prints news and does not write it and commenting here on language issues serves little purpose.

It isn't an issue about what was posted. It's an issue of prejudging. It is a social issue. Therefore it's something everyone should be free to discuss it. Awareness. That's all.

Doing it now. Not sure why they can't call a woman a woman instead of a girl.

They have no problem calling a man a man!

[ggt]

How do we know it was suicide...the answer to every death here...it could very well be a homicide...with burning the car and body to cover up the evidence...

"...but the BIB seem obsessed with suicide as a concept for all unexplained deaths."

Not nearly as obsessed as are the armchair forensics "experts" who seem to feel themselves better able to analyze incidents based on amateurish newspaper reports than are the police in possession of facts.

Before the incident she borrowed 200 baht from her niece to buy gasoline to set the house on fire and set herself on fire. Therefore her mom notified rescuers to take her to hospital. Later she fled from the hospital before taking her car from home and crashed into many people as she fled

I guess her mother and niece were in cahoots with the police to fabricate her behavior and to raise the suspicions of the conspiracy theorists here at the hub of I'm-a-farang-and-am-omniscient.

“…Girl Commits Suicide”

" Initially the officials sent the body for an autopsy at the forensics, police hospital."

Jumping the gun a bit on that headline aren't they?

TIT. The Hub of "Suicides"...

Again click on the link and READ IT Dhhhhhhhh

Yup.

My bad.

For some reason, I didn't click the link.

Always do...

And now, I so traumatized from you yelling at me...

Keep up the good work.

..suicide...says who....???

...she could have been killed..........or drugged.... and then set on fire..............

"...she could have been killed..........or drugged.... and then set on fire.............."

Says who?

[Triplebank999]

44 year old 'girl' ?

Yes, one wonders why the journalists choose to use the word 'girl' for a woman well in her forties.

One wonders why some ThaiVisa posters think it is that important to comment on petty things that result from translations into English.

[Triplebank999]

Female inspector? Why do they have to ID the inspector's gender, like it's some kind of novelty?

Maybe for the same reason that many of the world's police forces use the gender in their ranks, eg WPC?

[Triplebank999]

Looking at picture Suicide it isn't notice front fender damage possible hit and run so murder might be better call.

Notice the rear bumper damage also, not to mention the damage to all the other plastic parts of the car, they melt you know.

I suspect that when you need to borrow money for the fuel to set yourself on fire, it's reasonably clear why suicide appears to be your only option. Clearly the pay scale for tour guides on Koh Larn isnt quite what it should be.

People don't commit suicide like this.

Normally they open the door and get out petrified despite any will to die.

Sick of the police insulting human nature with their suicide nonsense.

What is a Thai Indian? All Thais together and all that.

The most ridiculous post of the week. Hands down. In 2014, there is a way you could have proved yourself wrong. I'd guess, without you telling me, that you think you can't be wrong. Yet on Page 1 of the "way you could have proved" this, I find this:

Three women commit suicide; one set on fire

Rape victim set self on fire, dies of burn injuries

Indian Man Attempts Suicide By Setting Himself On Fire.

Although suicide is predominantly a male adolescent act, it is often female adults who commit self-incineration. Features of the act include it is usually undertaken in the victim’s residence and accelerant is often used. Due to the presence of accelerant, the extent of injuries is generally severe and there is a higher mortality rate than for accidental burns.

Have a look at Page 1. See if you still think you are inerrant.

How sad are you people, I mean really how sad are you?

You have no idea what state this woman was in and obviously no idea about depression.

People choose many ways to commit suicide and this includes death by fire. The fact is a woman is dead and its time for sorrow not bickering.

God rest her soul, I hope she is now in peace and I hope her family recover from their grief and come to understand the reasons for he untimely death.
