If it's a load of crap you made up them shame on you. Islandlfe lives on Koh Tao, has done for 10 years. However seeing as the autopsy has not even been performed yet then its impossible for anyone to be satisfied that its a real suicide even if it is close family or friends Agree, need to wait for facts but family and friends are a very important part of the facts as they may know if he was troubled or ever suicidal in the past or had made comments that now add up to his taking his life. Most families and friends find it very difficult to accept a suicide of a loved one unless there were signs. Of course even a depressed or suicidal man could be murdered if there was another motive. Edit: To be clear, I haven't seen anything about statements from family or friends .... so possibly a mute point but not really clear if the above poster is speaking from knowledge or speculating. More BS Yeah,from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The apologists as always are all over this. None will state their connections with either RTP or death island business. Very strange. BTW, most people think the other B2 investigation is a joke Maybe because it is delusional and paranoid to believe people who don't agree with a conspiracy theory are government agents or affiliated with them. Be like saying those who believe the accused or innocent must be related to them or being paid by their embassy ... this isn't speculation but rather a serious case paranoia and taking conspiracy theories to an even more cartoonish level Fail to see the conspiracy theory, the article says the guy was hung with his hands tied behind his back. It states they thought suicide until further inspection, you are the theorist. The worrying thing is, posters predicted a few certain posters would be here defending any wrongdoing on the island and like the sun and the moon one arrives. Yes "worrying" that posters predicted some folks would come along and say we don't know cause all the facts are in while sharing what is common knowledge for those experienced in suicides that it is not uncommon for victims to tie their hands or even tape their mouths before hanging themselves ... in other words don't jump to any conclusion. Not sure why you think it is "worrying" that people have come along as predicted to bring common sense and reasoning to the thread. And yes, without any doubt it is either delusional, paranoid or just disingenuous for anyone to suggest somebody posting here is a government agent or affiliated with the government because of posting on this thread. No, worrying that your common sense is far from objective in fact it is just highly predictable. I have many views on many matters and realise everything isn't black and white, you just have blinkers on. You came to the topic with an agenda and I'm sure there will be others along too. Agreed some super sleuth's go a bit far but to dismiss everything like yourself to me is odd. As for the government agent crap I don't know what your on about?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonodingle Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 A good friend of mine was found hanging in Thailand. He had just sold his house and was going to the UK in a few days. Verdict Suicide.

JohnThailandJohn Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Islandlfe lives on Koh Tao, has done for 10 years. However seeing as the autopsy has not even been performed yet then its impossible for anyone to be satisfied that its a real suicide even if it is close family or friends A close family or friend may very well know with almost certainty it was a suicide without an autopsy. Not saying one should not be performed and things should be solely based on family or friends but the statement of family and friends are weighted very heavily to confirm suicide. While some cases it takes family by surprise and they will be in denial partly since suicides often leave questions of exactly how they were committed but other times the person has a history of depression, hurting themselves, mental conditions or maybe had made comments that family or friends didn't pick-up on initially. Bottom line is "IF" family and friends believe at this point it is a suicide, unless they were involved in a murder, they probably are right but again, this isn't proof and an investigation needs to be completed but it would be a very strong indication "IF" this is the case.

Yeah, I think suicide is actually more likely than murder.The two cuts were on the wrist and just below the elbow joint, pretty much where you'd go at your veins I'd imagine, and just a few cm each. Not that I know much more than the typical CSI viewer. Hope this doesn't come across as thoughtless or offensive, but I would guess the guy had a go at nicking his veins but realised the pain and nastiness of it would be a bit much, and so hung himself.

BritTim Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Without a) the lacerations in the body the photos of the deceased c) the prior MO given by a person, graphic enough to match the scene or d) a mystery frenchman providing a testimony on prev. mentioned related case - I'd given some benefit of doubt for the situation. So far the original leaks came from (Khaw or ข่าว) Thailand Online, and a Burmese democracy blogger - the photographer is still unknown. There appears to be some officials one might want to have a word in the background of the photo with the hands tied behind his back (included) askfromthese.jpg Jabis, my memory is getting frail, but did I not recently read that there was a witness to the recent Koh Tao murders and that this was a Frenchman? Or am I imagining that? http://friendsinthailand.com/2014/09/23/frenchman-can-id-killers-molestation-witness-in-protective-custody/ Was later claimed that this was referring to Sean McAnna, but the date is wrong by a day and almost everything else conflicts with what Sean himself says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sgtsabai Posted January 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 I've been on the scene of more than one suicide, plus a bunch of dead folks, "J" troll have you? I was the investigating officer on one as I stated earlier. More information is needed, in particular how the hands were tied, how was the "crime" scene protected, yes it is a crime scene until determined otherwise, etc. None of us can make a conclusion based on what evidence we have been shown and minds should stay open. That being said, it happened on KT where a murderer may or may not have returned. Wasn't his first, won't be his last and all you island people damn well know it and know who it is. As I said before, I wouldn't trust the KT keystone cops to investigate a leaky toilet, nor anyone that defends them. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
