Phuket:- A Pakistani tourist drowned in a hotel’s swimming pool in Phuket’s Thalang district early Monday in what police believed to be a suicide.

Pol Maj Santi Prakorbparn, an officer of Tha Chatchai police station, was informed by the Thalang Hospital that a foreign tourist drowned in a swimming pool of a popular hotel in Tambon Maikhao and the body has been sent to the hospital.

Santi went to the check at the hospital and found the body of Shumyla Mir, 26. She was wearing white t-shirt and strip pattern trousers. A doctor said she died about one hour earlier.

Santi checked with the hotel and found that the woman checked in with her husband, Altamash Jamal Mir, 38, on Sunday. The husband is a US citizen.

The husband testified that he found that his wife chatted with her former boyfriend via Facebook chat so he quarreled with her and moved out of the room to stay alone in another room.

Hotel staffs said they found the woman sitting and weeping in front of her room at 2:30 am Monday. They also found that the woman slightly cut her wrist.

The staffs tried to convince the Pakistani woman to return to her room but she refused. She asked them to accompany her to try to find her husband.

When they walked near the swimming pool, it rained hard and the woman sat down and cried and would not move. So the staffs returned to the front office to fetch her an umbrella.

They returned three minutes later to find her body at the bottom of the pool. They gave her a primary resuscitation and rushed her to the hospital but shied died on the way.

The husband said he would take the body for a religious rite in Pakistan.

Hmmm, "float" that method of committing suicide past me again.

Something not quite right here or am I just overly suspicious?

Three minutes later?

You're just an overly suspicious conspiracy theorist.

Three minutes later?

Yes, that's what it said, it probably doesn't take long to get an umbrella and it takes even less time to drown.

What drama: married woman has Facebook chat with an old boyfriend, angry irrational husband moves hotel rooms, crying in the rain, then suicide by drowning. If it weren't so tragic, you'd think this was the latest story line plot for the lakorn promised by the current dear leader of Thailand. RIP. Sounds like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place and didn't know where to turn while on holiday. Tragic. Phuket staff are not paid enough to deal with this type of domestic crap.
