Pol. Capt. Naret Boontee confirmed that officers from Sattahip police station received a report that an elderly foreign man had been found hung in a house in the Sattahip district of Chonburi. Police officers and members from the Sawang Rojana Dhamasathan rescue team searched the one storey house where they found the body of Mr. Wolfgang Willibudick, aged 68. Initial investigations found no sign of a struggle or forced entry into the property. Neighbors told police that a driver, identified as Mr. Phachit, 46, came to the house to pick up Mr. Wolfgang and take him to the airport as he had been due to fly back to Germany to undergo medical treatment. However, when Mr Wolfgang failed to answer the door or his telephone, Mr Phachit and a neighbour decided to break into the house which is when they discovered Mr Wolfgang hanging from an iron bar on the ceiling. Pol. Capt. Boontee confirmed that photographs and evidence has been taken of the scene and that the dead mans body has been sent to Bangkok Police Hospital Forensic Laboratory for further investigation to try an establish an official cause of death. Police are also working with officials from the German embassy. Source: Khaosod.co.th -- 2016-02-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiduncankk Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Sad. On his way back to his home country to receive treatment. Nobody probably even imagined he would do this. R.I.P. Edited February 29, 2016 by thaiduncankk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just1Voice Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is it just me, or does it seem like there is an inordinately high number of farang deaths the past week or so. It seems like at least one, and sometimes, two a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Tragic. The article (in Thai language) speculates he was probably desperate about his illness (intestine). Some just don't want to suffer to the end. Edited February 29, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like at least one, and sometimes, two a day. No. It is not just you. I have lost 2 close friends in the last 3 months, one 64 and the other 61. Two others in their 60's I had met just recently also passed away unexpectedly.. I'm 75 and hoping that these deaths are not just the beginning .

loppylugs1 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Some of these deaths are not even reported,one guy Belgium,hung himself from doorknob,people came to view,but nothing of his death reported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar501 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Suicide is a very dark and private matter for those depressed individuals who decide to take that path. Our media has the self-censoring option of how these sad stories are reported. The single photo of a smiling Mr. Willibudick would have been much more sensitive and appropriate than the other one showing his lifeless body swinging from a rope. Respect.

So let's hope he had some good times in Thailand, Wolfgang Budick in 2003, RIP: (from Google+) Could have been cancer or another incurable disease ,maybe he only had a few months to live so he decided to end his life the easy way. RIP. My idea too. This short hair cut was probably not his choice (chemotherapy), No foreigners death discussed in TV without crime/conspiracy theory. When a foreigner dies here in upcountry you will hardly find it in this kind of journo. Over the years a few have gone. Last case a Swiss whom I met about three weeks ago. In the meantime died of some brain hemorrhage. Edited March 1, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyFriend You Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is it just me, or does it seem like there is an inordinately high number of farang deaths the past week or so. It seems like at least one, and sometimes, two a day. If you look up statistics, a lot of suicides occur during or shortly after the Winter Holidays, Xmas, New years, etc etc. I thought it odd he would do this when he was already scheduled to go home for medical reasons. RIP to the old one, whatever it was you were diagnosed with, you took the wrong way out in my opinion..............theres nothing on this earth that I care so much about that I would want to hurt ME!! call me selfish, whatever, but I love ME and would;t hurt myself.

True but if you were diagnosed with a terminal illness that would entail a very painful prolonged death you might consider suicide a good option.

allanos Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 As much as we can conjecture about this gentleman's motives for committing suicide, an apt expression comes to mind: "that you cannot know another man's experience until you have walked a mile in his shoes".

Lannig Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Please stop calling cancer an "incurable disease". It's not always, far from that. In developed countries nowadays 10-year survival rate is well above 50% altogether and rising year after year. People who have been diagnosed with a cancer or cancer survivors may be reading this thread. Actually I'm quite sure there is at least one. Using such langage definitely is not being nice to them.

tropo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Maybe afraid of flying take aticket GET SOMECASH OUT OF A SAFE and call a driver..ans kill yourself... doesnt look very logic nor german I'd say you're thinking illogically... he may have organized the transport days before. I organize my taxi pickups at least a week before I travel. He may also have planned it this way so someone would find his body before it started decaying. He may have read the report yesterday about the British guy whose body was found a week after he died... Edited March 1, 2016 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thainess Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Maybe he had a Thai girlfriend who "helped" him with his suicide? Why would he do that when he'd already paid for a ticket to go back and have treatment in Germany? That doesn't make any sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
