Very sad...

Best not to walk under balconies these days.

As the international financial retreat worsens, I see similar events accelerating.

he might have been on drugs and thought he could fly

RIP but there are less painful ways to go

Ahhh! the old "alleged to have leapt to his death" line...

Keep it up Thailand.

Apparently he was suffering from terminal cancer. Possibly it was time to go.

Cancer and maybe alone without a wife or real girlfriend. RIP.

I don't think I could jump no matter how bad the pain.

Maybe one last trip to Pattaya and then sleeping pills.
