American in suspected suicide at North Pattaya Apartment

PATTAYA: -- Police and medics were called to a North Pattaya Apartment complex on Tuesday Night to deal with the death of an American, who is suspected of taking his own life.

The incident occurred at the Baan Intira Apartments in Soi 16 off the Naklua Road where officers and medics were directed to a 2nd floor room occupied by Mr. Patrick Fallon aged 58 from New Jersey, USA. He was lying face-down on the bed and Police estimate he had died approximately 3 days prior to the discovery.

On a table in the room, Police found a bottle of wine and a glass of water which appeared to contain an unknown pink colored powder which leads Police to believe this may have been a suicide.

No signs of any disturbance suggesting foul play was found in the room and it appeared there were no visible signs of injury to Mr. Fallon.

RIP. Another ex-pat life lost in Pattaya.

Waiting for the conspiracy theorists to jump in on this one. Oh! . . . It's not a Brit. Well, then it must have been a suicide.

Waiting for the first dick who waits for the conspiracy theorists.

Just as well he didn't do this on Koh Toa.....it would be another one marked down to the secret serial killer they have (in some peoples deranged minds) quietly living there, just plotting his next Brit move.

RIP...whatever your problems were---not any more.

[jacko45k]

Just 58, sad.

[thhMan]

So the Pink powder is what killed him?

Wouldnt the police be better of making sure that the pink powder was the culprit before making a statement?

[jaywalker]

Poor guy probably couldn't stand the thought of a return to New Jersey.

Makes me suicidal to think of the place.

R.I.P.

20 knife wounds, 10 gun shot wounds, comment from RTP worst case of suicide i ever saw.

Police found a bottle of wine so he did not drink a bottle of wine, found a glass of water and a pink powder in it, so they suspect a suicide, great. Could have been the pink powder many of us take, electrolyte helps with feeling a bit dehydrated.

Poor guy.

No, thhMan if you have lived here a few years, it is well know what the pink powder is. (The pink pill has been crushed into powder) more difficult to buy in Thailand now, (since Nitschke--(pro-euthanzsia Australia- published his book with the address of where to buy in Thailand) --but still relatively easy to obtain in Cambo.

There is something about Pattaya that makes me want to live forever. Dying is the last thing that is on my mind. If the grim reaper tries to come to 306 then let it be known that he will have a fight on his hands.

The statement was a suspicion, not a statement of fact, as you would have known if you had read the OP.

I'd suggest that the young lady in my avatar is too young to die, but I'm not so sure about yours

Leaping off tall buildings and disconnecting your brain with a shotgun might be seen as more 'manly' ways to top yourself. but for my money this guy got it right - conspiracy theories aside, there are far worse ways to die in Pattaya. RIP.

Better than dying from a 2nd story fall.

No reference available but I read about some guy that committed suicide from a 20 foot window here a while back.

He must've climbed back upstairs & jumped out 5 times to be the same as a 10 story fall.

[Nemesis7]

Rest in peace

[maynard420]

That pink pills is ATIVAN, just like Xanax = VERY VERY STRONG VALIUM, you take enough of that with alcohol you will fall asleep and never wake up, yes Ativan is legal in Thailand it was the xanax that was banned due to the Ladyboys slipping it into customers drinks and they wake up and don't have a clue how they got home, I know this little pink pill very well, many people have taken there lives with it in Pattaya.

By God, there's no place like Pattaya is there?

For all its wants & woes, I love the place.

My first reaction on seeing the photo at the top was...."Jeez, is everything always about FOOD in Asia?"

Trying to apply logic here, are we?

[steven100]

hmmmm .. seems everyone goes to Pattaya to die, probably realize it's less paperwork for the police there as it's an everyday occurrence.

If your going to go toast yourself and your life. I would.

This could have happened anywhere in the world.

Most here have a very good idea what the powder was without needing a lab to confirm it. Unless strawberry Quik has toxic properties I'm not aware of, I dont think we need CSI for this one.
