Katipo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 These things always follow a similar path. 1) Alcoholic westerner. 2) Thai ex-gf still hanging around 3) Death In most cases I am sure 1 is the cause of 3 more than 2, but we'd all be better off with less of all three.

northernphil Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 it does not say what he died from so it may have been health problems. I agree with you but in my books suicide is a health issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Age) Something to consider before retiring there. except he hadn't retired if he was only 53 now and he came here 11 years ago? Some people retire early. I did. Some people dont need to work at all, even if they do it on a small private income and dont mind living fairly frugally. Thailand is still a reasonably good place for that, though anyone who drinks a lot might prefer another country where booze is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"These things always follow a similar path." In many cases the path was well-established before the individual fled his dismal life in Farang Land in the hopes of finding something in Thailand that had eluded him back in Farang Paradise. Assuming everything was hunky-dory prior to coming to Thailand and that health, drinking, relationship problems suddenly arose once the person arrives here is naive and simplistic. Many people bring a lot of baggage with them. Others arrive in Thailand in good shape in all those areas and continue to do well. Some/Many actually discover life in Thailand is actually all they hoped for and more. Edited July 29, 2015 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoker58 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Maybe he just slipped and hit his head. Tiled bathrooms are a dangerous place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggusoil Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Maybe he just slipped and hit his head. Tiled bathrooms are a dangerous place. Yes. Its that simple sometimes. Also sounds like he was fond of the booze. Wet tiles got me and my daughter the other night. Down bang, no injuries, but we were both inches away from a tiled step with a nice point at the end. It can be that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What is the average life expectancy in Pattaya? (Age) Something to consider before retiring there. Sadly, life expectancy in Pattaya is directly attributable to these factors, age has little to do with it: 1. Bank balance 2. Alcohol intake 3. Which condo floor you live on 4.

Loptr Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Maybe he just slipped and hit his head. Tiled bathrooms are a dangerous place. I had a brother die that way... I also have another brother that fell in the shower and broke his shoulder... Needless to say, I am very careful when in the loo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well...let's see if they can determine why/how he died...... ....his 'wife' aside......I think his friends, family and loved ones.....would like to know...and deserve to know... ...and tired of the stereotypes of foreigners portrayed here... ...at the end of the day there may be a substantial amount of assets in play here..... ...so personally....I do not care what 'she' said....... ...he could have been drugged or poisoned....for all we know.... ....at least run a blood test or something....

KamalaRider Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) put it down to another suicide ??????? Well he was apparently locked in the bathroom so we can eliminate a few of the standard TV theories. Too young to die. In Thailand, door locks can be locked before closing it from the outside. Nevertheless, sad event, sad for the daughter and his relatives in Spain or Thailand. R.I.P.

bazza40 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 People die all over the world from various causes and at various ages. Some are self-inflicted from alcohol or drug use. It baffles me why the death of a falang ( insert nationality here ) in Thailand ( insert name of city here ) is considered newsworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colabamumbai Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It is very easy to slip on a wet bathroom floor and hit your head on the sink or toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matman Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I end up 'break dancing' at least once a week in the shower room, not drink or drug assisted, just a wet slippy floor and a fraction of a seconds loss of balance, my wife says its so funny to watch and is constantly asking me to teach her the moves !!. But seriously RIP, Manuel, 53 too young to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwikeith Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Maybe he just slipped and hit his head. Tiled bathrooms are a dangerous place. Slipped hit his head on door handle which locked the door, just joking, why would he lock the bathroom door if alone in apartment unless he wanted to clock out?
