As if not tragic enough, there appears to be a child now left parentless.

RIP to those departed and pray things turn out ok eventually for the child.

the kid will have to go and stay with the aunt ....

Very sad. I knew the couple reasonably well.

Messy divorce, with all the usual drama and allegations.

Both kind of hot-headed people, but I liked both of them.

Very sad for their son, who doesn't know yet. He's about 8 years old I think. Not many family around on the mother's side and none live in Chiang Mai.

Very sad.

RIP

Not sure if I should post a name and/or picture. Many foreigners in Chiang Mai will know him. Chances are his name will be in the first newspaper story anyway.

I just seen the picture .... very tragic and very sad way to end it all. And the poor son who doesn't know yet ..... I can't even begin to think what he will feel ... he's going to need heaps of love and attention ..

RIP .... absolutely tragic.

Saw an ambulance and later lots of police today. Shit.

Though I note the wife was named it is probably best that no other is named at this point.

I thiknk quite a few will know him as Winnie has pointed out,

Given that this is recent it is quite possible that family overseas are unaware and may not have been contacted by BIB or consular staff given weekend and time difference,

It is a bad enough tragedy as it is without a family member or aquaintance accidentally stumbling actoss a TV post with the reference to the deceased. Also a reminder that when/if a nmae is mentioned in the news to perhaps be somewhat discerning in what is posted here that family may come across in the future.......it is posted forever.

Yes.. although I'm not sure that line of thought still applies in this day and age: 10 minutes ago someone posted a link to an article on his Facebook page, graphic picture and everything. Safe to assume his family knows and it does't require embassy or BiB.

BiB weren't even overly eager to go locate their son, which is probably just as well.
