Thai Doctor Saves Foreign Tourist After Cardiac Arrest on Pattaya Street

[KhaoNiaw]

That his father is a prominent "red shirt" is neither here nor there.

It's the only reason this even made the news and the forum.

There's a dozen suicides every day here.

It's not the reason it's made the news at all.It's made the news because he's a well-known figure in his own right. The Thai-language news is reporting the death of Singh of Sqweez Animal, without headlines that include his father or redshirts.

Pity his da didn't jump instead.

Yes and landed on top of your typical bigoted head!!

Shocking post that seems to be allowed to remain.

To young to die. RIP

[mikemac]

hopefully he were not druncan or high -

and just wanted to catch the plane to Dubai from the balcony,

to beg for help from Big Daddy there ??

However obliquely, you managed to bring Thaksin into this small tragedy.

A man, Veera Musikapong, a Red Shirt main player has lost a loved one. He was, apparently, one of the more moderate of the Ratchaprasong crew. My sympathies to him.

What Ratty said +1, also my sympathies to mango66.

The title of this thread is wrong.

From the opening post

The body of Prachatip Musigapong, 31, fell on the balcony of a room on the fourth floor of the Waterford Condominium on Soi Sukhumvit 53.

and
http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/son-of-a-redshirt-leader-takes-own-life says

Prachatip Musikapong, also known as Singha, was a guitarist for Sqweeze Animal band, jumped from the ninth floor of a condominium on Soi Thonglor 5 off Sukhumvit road last night.

His body was found on the fourth floor balcony of the condominium before midnight last night.

He landed on someone else's balcony. How awful for all concerned.
