May 19, 20169 yr This has got to be the most stupid newspaper heading of all time American Expat in Krabi Hangs Himself in Apparent Suicide If HE hung HIMSELF of course it was a suicide.Duh!!!!!! R.I.P.
May 19, 20169 yr This has got to be the most stupid newspaper heading of all time American Expat in Krabi Hangs Himself in Apparent Suicide If HE hung HIMSELF of course it was a suicide.Duh!!!!!! R.I.P. Not stupid at all ! First you have to look at the options. Only the deceased knows what happened, and he ain,t talking This IS Thailand, and there is always the possibility, small as it may be, that he was rendered unconscious and then hung by person or persons unknown, and thereby hangs (excuse the pun) the doubt !
May 19, 20169 yr I've got to agree that it's a stupid headline. They didn't put the "apparent" qualifier in front of the hung himself, so we have to take it that that part is a fact. Once you've hung yourself, any intent other than suicide would be extremely remote, to say the least. Like maybe it's a game he plays with the neighbor and fully expected to be saved.
May 19, 20169 yr Sad story. The use of 'apparent' hints that it could be something other than suicide. R.I.P Bill
May 19, 20169 yr ...gotta wonder what type of relationship they had.....I can guess.... ...another one..... ...condolences to his real family and friends..... ...give all....get nothing back....game over....nothing to live for any more.... ...nobody wants to wonder why.... ...of course not..... ...'Next'..... ...such wonderful hosts......
May 19, 20169 yr This is Thailand - the facts are often a bit murky when they relate to Expat deaths (for all the reasons we know so well) We have all heard about business men or distraught Expats jumping off buildings, Thai GF and her boyfriends/ husband or family being involved etc etc. What we do know is another Expat has died. RIP fella.
May 19, 20169 yr This has got to be the most stupid newspaper heading of all time American Expat in Krabi Hangs Himself in Apparent Suicide If HE hung HIMSELF of course it was a suicide.Duh!!!!!! R.I.P. If he hung himself or someone else hung him, he'd still be alive.. So, he hanged himself or someone else did the hanging..
May 19, 20169 yr The headline trying to re emphasise the usual theory of SUICIDE. So why all those people who were killed in Thailand commit suicide as declared by police ?
May 19, 20169 yr There is always a girlfriend somewhere who turns up immediately after thr "crime" and surprise surprise, she happens to be Thai.
May 19, 20169 yr well as far as a thai wife, i would never marry one . like the look they give but , dont want that long term thing ill take european any time , i want to live long ,lol
May 19, 20169 yr This has got to be the most stupid newspaper heading of all time American Expat in Krabi Hangs Himself in Apparent Suicide If HE hung HIMSELF of course it was a suicide.Duh!!!!!! R.I.P. How do you know he hung himself? Were you there? People are murdered worldwide frequently and the criminals are staging suicides to avoid further investigation. Don't be so negative.
May 19, 20169 yr This has got to be the most stupid newspaper heading of all time American Expat in Krabi Hangs Himself in Apparent Suicide If HE hung HIMSELF of course it was a suicide.Duh!!!!!! R.I.P. Michael Hutchence didn't attempt suicide, he just played a little game gone wrong!
May 19, 20169 yr How could he hang himself if he was lying on the ground...??? I think in physics they call it horizontal displacement.
May 19, 20169 yr I used to have a girlfriend who suffered from bad depression and suicidal thoughts,................. but now I don't....................................
May 19, 20169 yr RIP. Seems strange. You hear of expat men who are washed up in Thailand, no money, no hope, end of the road, so they suicide. However, William was an English teacher, so he had a career and salary. Perhaps his marriage was turning bad, wonder why he didn't just pack up and move away.

No, the headline was poorly worded. It should have said something like, "American Expat in Krabi Found Hanged in Apparent Suicide"
May 19, 20169 yr A better head would read: American Expat Found Hung in Krabi in Apparent Suicide Would that be because Americans are well-hung?
May 19, 20169 yr well as far as a thai wife, i would never marry one . like the look they give but , dont want that long term thing ill take european any time , i want to live long ,lol You my not live any linger with a Eurp wife, but it will surely seem that way.
May 19, 20169 yr Too many errors to quote. Please everybody, the word is hanged not hung. http://grammarist.com/usage/hanged-hung/
May 19, 20169 yr How could he hang himself if he was lying on the ground...??? Well, the article also says, "The 38 year-old Thai wife, Wongduan Lunla, told police that she returned home from work at noon and found the body of William Patrick hung from a rope tied to a window frame." It's not a real stretch to think she may have cut him down, is it?
May 19, 20169 yr Too many errors to quote. Please everybody, the word is hanged not hung. http://grammarist.com/usage/hanged-hung/ Now, you've ruined my fun. I was envisioning several snide remarks which would have undoubtedly gone over many heads.
May 19, 20169 yr Way to many apparent suicides In this Country Yes, it does appear that Thailand is on the way to many suicides.
May 19, 20169 yr RIP. Seems strange. You hear of expat men who are washed up in Thailand, no money, no hope, end of the road, so they suicide. However, William was an English teacher, so he had a career and salary. Perhaps his marriage was turning bad, wonder why he didn't just pack up and move away. Maybe he just realized that at 65, he was an NES teacher in Thailand.
May 19, 20169 yr "The 38 year-old Thai wife, Wongduan Lunla, told police that she returned home from work at noon and found the body of William Patrick hung from a rope tied to a window frame." Ah huh...
