Woman jumps into crocodile farm in suicide bid

BANGKOK: -- A 65-yar-old woman jumped into a crocodile farm in Samut Prakarn province and was killed by crocodiles.

The woman was later idenfitied as Mrs Wanpen Inyai, an employee of an ice-making shop in Nakon Romklao central market in Minburi, Bangkok.

The incident was revealed on Facebook account of Banchong Chivamongkolkarn who said his relatives were told by Samut Prakarn police that the 65-year-old victim fell into the crocodile pond in the Samut Prakarn crocodile farm and zoo and she was torn into pieces by crocodiles.

The relatives of the victim went to the farm and asked to see video footage from the farm with condition that the news must be kept confidential and no legal action be taken against the farm.

The relatives agreed and the video footage was then shown to them.

The video footage showed the body of the woman falling into the concrete pond and lying still on the floor. As soon as someone trying to use stick to pull her out, many crocodiles came and tore up her body in two parts.

Police said they suspected the woman committed suicide as she took off her shoes before jumping into the pond.

The cause of suicide was not known, police said.

Come on lady. There are easier and less painful ways to kill yourself.

[marioc]

Another suicide... RIP

At least this one jumped into a pond full of crocodiles and not from a balcony of hotel

[burgdawg]

...the vid footage will make it to FB

Good grief. Surely there are easier, less painful ways, to off yourself.

Amazing Thailand. Indeed.

Perhaps a little sympathy might be in order here, she was, after all, a 65 year old woman who may have had personal issues with family or health. It certainly wasn't the fault of the crocodile farm. At least she didn't throw herself under a train and cause many people to be upset.

Rather sad actually.

I believe one right we all have is to surrender our own lives if we choose to, and our reasons are our own. From the reports this is what she chose do to. The shoes is the odd part, but maybe that was just from habit.

Agreed.

It's actually been a long time since one of these were reported. It's not actually uncommon.

[watcharacters]

.

What a genuine pity the woman in her despair could' think of no better alternative than death by a float of crocodiles.

Another case for legalized euthanasia.

[doremifasol]

Poor woman, she had to come to this.........

R.I.P

Some very insensitive and nonsense troll posts have been removed.

Sad story .... something snapped (no pun intended) to make her choose to end it.

I hope she is at piece with herself in heaven now.

RIP old lady.

Yes, they're obsessed with taking their shoes off here.

Like there were no people to get upset watching the crocs have lunch?

[goatfarmer]

It would not be difficult to prevent unauthorized access to the pond. A grill around the viewing enclosure would do it.

Where do you get sleeping pills in this country??

So far, in 9yrs 2 dozen pharmacies have told me they dont carry.

snapped, piece, that was funny.

snap crack chomp,

What a desperate act! She must have been tortured in her mind. My heart hurts for her. Depression is the flip side of anger. Perhaps if the expression of negative emotions were permitted here, this might not have happened.

Only hospitals can give out tranquillizers and sleeping pills.

Or reading about crocs having lunch.

Jeez, never heard of a bottle of sleeping pills, a whisky and a porn? They are less rough ways to go than getting your limbs torn off bit by bit.....my god!

They used to carry HEAVY DUTY ones about 10 years ago! Apparently, the ingredients were used for illegal drugs etc. Just one of those kept you in a catatonic state for 12 hours, way too heavy.

Come on lady. There are easier and less painful ways to kill yourself.

I'm overcome by your feelings of sadness for this unfortunate lady...... May she RIP...... now.

[slipperylobster]

Yeah....go out as food. Brilliant.

a bit late to tell her that now

[Tuskfish]

As sad and shocking as this is - I tend to think this kind of thing shouldn't be publicised - my feelings are even stronger after reading many of these comments

Sometimes journalists need to know when to just back off

[epicstuff]

the crocs are all saying 'Who said aint no such thing as a free lunch '

[ldiablo]

@Steven100 It's peace not piece. Oh I pray you are not a language teacher.
