ClutchClark Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 He looks conscious in the photos. Probably would have had more success if he had parked at home. This is not a technique used by individuals very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well normally a pipe from the exhaust is used. The man created a very dangerous scenario there in his distress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted October 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2014 Luckily the security guard had the sense to extinguish his cigarette before he opened the car door - otherwise there'd be a nice big hole in the Tesco car park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to read your thoughtful post. I have mostly stopped reading posters comments on stories like this as I have come to expect the usual cynical sick comments by some posters using the opportunity to demonstrate how witty they think they are.....a sad reflection on the state of mind of some people in today's society....Equally sad that it has come to this. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuiAxe Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Sad, very sad, the guy has mental problems? Then I would advise him to go back to Switzerland for appropriate treatment as soon as possible! Thailand is not the best country to be if you have mental problems Edited October 13, 2014 by SamuiAxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquorice Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Seems more a cry for help, than an intended suicide attempt. If you really wanted to commit suicide, you'd choose a secluded spot where your not going to be discovered for a while, not a public area. By choosing a Tesco car park, he was discovered before he could kill himself, which was probably more his intention and will hopefully get some treatment for his problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the exactly same thought. It was more a cry for help than a serious suicide attempt. Luckily he is in a part of Thailand where mental health treatment and recovery is better than in many other parts of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I feel that anyone has the right to take the easy way out if he/she chooses to, but putting other lifes in danger by achieving this deserves a prison sentence after the release from hospital. Just one spark when breaking open the doors could have caused havoc and death. What an idiot! No sympathy from my side, sorry!

RichieKaen Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I guess, Another victim who had been abandoned by his girlfriend ... Life can be hard. How do you come to that conclusion Sherlock?? Because in typical TV fashion he didn't bother to read the whole story before firing off a salvo. The article clearly states that the Swiss man's girlfriend informed the reporter that he had a heart condition and suffered from mental health issues. And what's the point of reading the whole story if you don't understand what you've read before firing off a salvo? It says the girlfriend of the Swiss man's son was tracked down by police...not the Swiss man's girlfriend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradinAsia Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hope he recovers and gets back the joy of living !! I don't want to be the world's worst grouch, but it seems to me a bit much when every time a very dumb farang does something very dumb, such as trying to play spiderman (diving) off an 8th floor balcony bcoz his bargirl gf doesn't love him anymore -- then out marches TV's tearful, old-granny squad flooding us with crocodile tears and contrived condolences. What is the real purpose of all that, if any? Do we need to constantly remind everyone that we can be a very kind-hearted and caring bunch toward total strangers? Just seems totally disingenuous to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
