Swedish found hanged in deserted building

[ratcatcher]

Hanged , well there must be an easier way to commit suicide . Are there any balconies in this building ? Did he bring a rope with him / OK so I doubt that he took his own life.

"Are there any balconies in this building?"

Jeezus H., dd you look at the picture? Balconies? Probably close to a thousand.

A gross memorial to greed and bad taste. And the last place of quiet for a tragedy. RIP Swede.

can't blame him, Thailand can be very depressing, just hope he is better off now.

I highly doubt anyone would walk willingly up 43 flights of stairs to be executed. I mean, if someone was going to force me into an abandoned tower, I would be kicking, scratching, screaming, the whole way up.

I can't imagine any Thai carrying a farang up 43 flights of stairs to stage a suicide either.

I would call this one what it is...

Seems it's time for you to return home before it's too late mate. Good luck.

Another Swede died in Hua Hin this week, found dead missing his wallet and jewelry. No news about this in the local news. (http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article19969689.ab)

[DaveE13]

the security guard should be doing his job not allowing people to go in there. but then again money talks

[Trentham]

I stayed in the Centra Hotel which looks across from this building last month, it seemed busy with what looked like transients staying there, I wonder what took them so long to find him.

I don't think transients would be climbing to the 43rd floor in Bangkok's heat. There are no lifts in a deserted, half finished building.

Could've been drugged and carried in already dead. Unlikely to be found for weeks, by which time the drugs would be out of his system.

How would drugs leave a dead man's system?

[wow64]

Rip poor fella.

It's a long way up that high been in their before. Weird building.. Locals already think it's haunted.

[gopis108]

Perhaps another victim of the Thai sweet girl syndrome , most likely lost everything.

[Vagabond1]

Condolences to family and friends. Thailand takes another foreign life.

No - this is another foreigner who takes his life in Thailand.

[ldiablo]

He paid a 100 baht service fee to a security gaurd to get access to the building. Is that what they're calling it now a sevice fee.

No - this is another foreigner who takes his life in Thailand.

was thinking exact same thing... nothing to do with Thailand and everything to do with this poor soul's life RIP

[InTransit]

I feel no pity for anyone who is foolish enough to take there own life. May you rest in hell.

Wow.....i have seen some insensitive crap written on TV but you take the gold medal, why would you even bother to write something so spiteful?

[kmj]

Looks to me like there are more and more moronic CSI wannabes on this forum everyday. RIP fella.

[richusa]

Ever try to walk up 86 flights of stairs?

[dotpoom]

The guy who found the body tried in vain to contact the police?

He posted a message on a website seeking help from other posters?

What am I missing here?

Bloody sad way to go .

Absolutely, craziest thing I ever heard. You walk out into the streets of a major city and find it impossible to contact the police.....so you go home and put on a website......"there's a dead body in a building I've just left....what should I do?

May the deceased RIP.

[DaveE13]

i agree a lot of insensitive comments on here today

[robertthebruce]

How sad is this.....

R.I.P.

[wvavin]

Must be a very lonely departure. RIP mate!

It looks like another of Mango Bob's crass & insensitive posts . A man died, probably by suicide and you made these comments. Shame on you.

He had a family and friends presumably, yet no-one was there for him when he was most in need. Too damn sad!

"He paid a 100-baht service fee to a security guard to get access to the building."

Ok, so if the Thai had to pay Baht 100.- may I assume that the Swede did as well?

In the Thai press they say there were several empty food containers in the room from a local convenience store, so it looks like he had been living there for a period of time. His wallet was empty of cash, so it's possible he had run out of money.

Apparently Thais were charged 100 Baht for entry to the building and Farang 200 Baht.

Having seen a video of inside the building in the news today, it looks in a poor state, really run down and dilapidated inside.

[DaveE13]

it should of been boarded up with cctv and Alarmed.

another insensitive remark removed.

[Graham8888]

Service fee that takes the biscuit - corrupt security guard takes bribe that leads to suicide should be the headline.

Very sad rip young man

Bloody sad way to go .

thai language media interviewed the guy and he said he spoke to police but police were not interested. police went after social media carried event.

R.I.P.

Tried in vain to contact the police? What? They were engaged? Didn't pick up the phone? Out for dinner?

No just Watching TV like they normally do in the police station.... It's just unreal

[ratcatcher]

That, strange as it may seem, costs money, and the owners of these skeletons have no intention of pouring good money after bad. Until the BMA orders demolition, they will remain blights on the landscape.
