Ulic Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 "The man to go to for a loan" Does that mean he was a loan shark or friendly personable, helping out neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sadly, another platform for sick humor, bigotry, conjecture and tasteless comments. A man dies and some find materiel for beverage-fueled levity. RIP Dear Man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 A retired Phuket police officer and a loan shark. I guess he would have a long list of enemies, one of which, may have just been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, or cancel out a loan.

Shot Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) My money is on a "friend", neighbor or relative finding him dead of natural causes, stealing the bracelet then calling the cops. Edited September 23, 2014 by Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 My money is on a "friend", neighbor or relative finding him dead of natural causes, stealing the bracelet then calling the cops. If he died of natural causes, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the guys in the photo took the braclet. The article mentions a lot of blood from the nose and mouth, but not if this was the caused by trauma to the face/head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Looking closely at the picture it looks like his upper body is facing the mattress while his lower body is facing the opposite direction!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
