Popular Post tomross46 Posted December 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2014 The police do not need to investigate what happened. All they have to do is read Thaivisa and get all the information from all the Sherlock Homes inputs. It is apparent that some are like a pebble in an empty tin. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckape Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Autopsy will take about 6 months...if foul play is suspected investigation will take 18 months...charges to be filed ohhh about 3 more years. If he was murdered by a 'local' expect a conviction about 6 months after the next elections. Efficiency Thai style! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hgma Posted December 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2014 My sincere condolences to family and friends of the deceased. I think it would be appropriate to refrain from ' Holmes & Watson ' comments as a gesture of decency to the family left behind. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fey Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) classic setup. with housekeeping coming in daily at most places leaving piles of white powder around is just not done theres all kinds going through your room in bkk. maids, a/c maintenance all entering while your out. the concept of 'notice' is not practiced here. i dont see anything un decent about holmes and watson type comments. nobody knows what happened and everyones asking questions. any critical analysis and people get nervous. i guess stupid comments are more entertaining to the brainless!

Popular Post pedro01 Posted December 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2014 White powder, most likely cocaine, which is fairly well known for its ability to induce a heart attack. Or possibly a mix up at the dealer and it was heroin and sold as coke. I know of 2 guys this happened to here, one woke up in hospital, the other never woke up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
