ezzra Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The rate that foreigners are dropping dead, it would be a good idea for someone to start a funeral house catering just for foreigners, I'm sure that will be a thriving good income business, unfortunately...

shunter Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Nowt overly suspicious to this in my mind.71 years old riding a bike, perhaps a beer or two and a bite to eat with friends as was indicated by widows then the old ticker gives out. At 71 one has far more yesterdays than tomorrows. I am knocking the door of 71 and I am always pleasantly surprised and pleased to when I wake up in the morning, it means I've made another day. Personally I reckon the way he went was great no fuss no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayceenik Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 My maternal grandmother died peacefully at 72 in her sleep at night. She was in very great shape up to that sudden and unexpected end. But much later my mother lingered days and days at a Belgian hospital with metastazing cancer until she died at 77. Fortunately the MDs made sure she didn't suffer. Being seriously senior in Pattaya myself I hope to go quick, fast and clean like this guy. It will be easier on me () and on my much younger companion TGF (who'll then inherit all my earthly possessions ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By suicide because all her friends died already many years before. My father with 72. So this guy did it right. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunter Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) PaullyW. Respect to all the other aged gents who seem ready at the inevitable. When you see your circle of friends diminishing somewhat rapidly the truth stares you in the face and reality bites. Reading the obituaries becomes a habit to see who you have outlived Edited February 13, 2016 by shunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunter Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Did rather like this idea and it appeals to me we could all become vital links in the food chain after popping our clogs. https://www.rt.com/usa/332339-mushroom-death-suit-environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadychris Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ...there were apparently no witnesses since he was found in the morning..... ...yet the headline has determined it all...... Statistically speaking it is almost certain that I will die a natural death. Whilst I would prefer to die quietly at home, I can only hope that as it will most likely happen in Thailand, that my time of passing occurs in a very public place with many witnesses. I would much prefer that my demise does not become a topic for outlandish speculation here on on TV.... Condolences to this guys wife and family.

jayceenik Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 In the monetary interests of my Pattaya companion TGF I should die in/from an accident and not in the rather peaceful way this guy did.. I have an insured bank account in Belgium which will be doubled (up to a set amount) if I depart for the free-beer-no-BF Beer Bars in the Sky in an accident but not if I die of a heart attack or the like (or commit suicide ...)

No lengthy hospital stay and, most importantly, no photos on TV of me sprawled half-naked on the bathroom floor followed by the free-for-all of speculative conspiracy posts.
