French man found hanged in Koh Tao with his hands tied behind his back – foul play suspected

Featured Replies

John have you ever been on scene of a suicide, or are you just one of those text book experts?

As opposed to a social media conspiracy theorist who ignores experts, those who were at the scene and textbook facts and relies on rumors and speculations?

The only relevance to having been at the scene of a suicide is if you were at this one. But one thing extremely common in suicides is there are always questions left unanswered and often doubters of it being a suicide regardless of who investigates.

Looks like you are reediting posts.

Answer the question. Have you ever been on scene of a suicide?

That's 5 dodgy possible or actual murder scenes involving tourists in one year on Ko Tao alone, if I have my dates correct. Swept under the rug, except for the high profile one we all know and love which doesn't seem to have much chance of ever being investigated.

I choose to continue to stay here myself and think Thailand is still less dangerous in terms of being murdered than the wild wild west where I come from. But, I hope that at some point the media will recognize a good opportunity to do some good investigative stories and documentaries about the situation here because as it is Thailand is still perceived as being some kind of happy gentle garden of eden when in fact it is a much more mixed bag than that.

Aside from the obvious things that are wrong about the whole picture, not everyone choosing to come to Thailand is making a choice based on understanding the reality here. That is the only thing, at this point, that you can realistically hope will change: that eventually most of the world will know very well what can happen here if you slip up and say the wrong thing to the wrong person or become involved in some other "misunderstanding."

Beware and take care on your holidays people and I wish you the best of luck should you know the reality and choose to holiday here!

Sadly been on scene a few times. I have lived in the real world.

Note my earlier point regarding knots.

You can pull any academic article that counter claims another point.

Even BIB are now suspicious.

So, how many knots were tied? What is the type of knot? What is the material used to tie his hand? Clearly you must know that there are no other knots based on your being able to see less than 1/4 of the rope and only half a wrist.

I guarantee your claimed experience of being at suicides doesn't come close to the textbooks that actual proven experts in the field have wrote on the subject ... if I am wrong, just point me to the link of where you have been called on to share your expert opinions on suicides or knots (based on low res image of a partial rope and wrist) ... if your expert opinion only has been called on by yourself on this Thaivisa then don't bother providing links.

What are you doing here then? Your on a discussion thread!

When the corpse is still at the death scene and in the suspended position, a team including a forensic pathologist should make a detailed death scene investigation, to determine the origin of hanging. Evidence from the death scene investigation, statements from witnesses, and the presence of any suicide note, all help to determine whether there are any suspicious circumstances. Further-more, an evaluation of the evidential material, along with the autopsy findings and judicial inquiry data, can establish whether the cause of death was suicide rather than homicide http://www.academia....l_Hanging_Cases

Answer the question. Have you ever been on scene of a suicide?

Would it matter if I said a dozen or 331 since you nor I were at this one or are privy to all the information regarding this one?

How old is your mom has about as much relevance.

I dont need to bother. Your mind as always is made up.

My experience, is well recorded JTJ. Not that i need to discuss it here. You gave done your usual apologist stance.

So the question remains , are you an armchair expert or have worked in the field.?

If you have great, but with your postinv history you present as a shill

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?

Originally it was reported (wrongly) that Sean McAnna was French

I guess we're not talking about the frenchman in protective custody then - as that has been refuted by Mr. McAnna himself, that he has not spent one day in such (and AFAIR he had to resort to media to get an escape).

So now who is a frenchman that could have been in protective custody, or was there one at first place?

It all got mixed up by the BK Post...the two photos that Sean released were attributed to an Frenchman

Going back to an earlier thread...

I refused to answer your question, yet you replied to it with another question?

Here is my answer for you again.

First of all, I don't think what the RTP version will be, I will read when it's made public. Thinking what it gonna be is a conspiracy theory already.

Jonny boy you can do better than that?

Whats your RTP interest?

Jonny boy are you a TVP?

I dont need to bother. Your mind as always is made up.

My experience, is well recorded JTJ. Not that i need to discuss it here. You gave done your usual apologist stance.

So the question remains , are you an armchair expert or have worked in the field.?

If you have great, but with your postinv history you present as a shill

Clearly you lack even the most basic investigative knowledge as you are stating my mind is not just made up but clearly made when in fact I have expressed absolutely no opinion because I don't have one as I have made clear I don't have all the information ... all I have done is stated that it is not uncommon for a victim of a suicide to have their hands tied ... which is not an opinion but actual recorded fact and well documented by actual experts.

Everything points to suicide except the fact that it was murder. The most common way to avoid getting caught for murder is to try to make it look like a suicide.

The only thing that supports the suicide theory is the love letter written in french .. That means the love letter was not a suicide note (just a unrelated love letter), or that the killers knew french and forced him to write it ... if the killers did not know french he could have written that he was being threatened when he wrote it..

Really, interesting to see that your understanding of a conspiracy theory is thinking.

No it wasn't jonny boy. You jumped on anyond anx everyond that has suspicion. Once again answer the question.

What is your relationship with RTP?

We'll have none of this logic nonsense around here!

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
