Police should behave and conduct themselves in a professional manner by refraining from making such a suggestion before the investigation reveals the cause of death.Why should they drew such a conclusion and what if it was not a suicide? Will they then potch it up to make it look like A suicide to save face???? <deleted>!!

Given these circumstances, and the police's assumptions, I can only assume that a police officer known to the investigators killed the man...

Whenever I die here, if I do, please know that it will NOT be a suicide...Thaivisa members--avenge my death!!!

At least two people know what happened. One is not talking.

Very bizarre indeed , then again you tend not to struggle with a glock held at your head , just a suggestion...................................... ..

Whether it was a Glock or a bazooka, a suffocating person will struggle. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

er.....maybe he wasn't awake when he did this......obviously suicide by <Thai language removed> .....nothing to see here.....move along

Thai language removed from post.

I can think of easier ways of committing suicide. It might conceivably have been a sex thing gone wrong. Some guys get off on aphyxiation. If the guy had a history of this the suicide verdict would be a nod to the family.

I guess that he learned that trick from watching old Houdini films ,but he forgot the escape part.

Next case please

Thai police tend not to undertake evidence-based investigations but are world famous for their preferred alternative, the predetermined-outcome investigation. It is rather similar to the former but works in reverse. So, the discovery of evidence to support their determination is the last piece of the puzzle rather than the first while the announcement of what happened comes first rather than at the end. They find it makes life easier that way.

And you call these men Police Unbelievable

I guess if they made a Thai version of CSI for Thai TV it would be a comedy because no one in their right mind can take this seriously

Read one where it was a murder suicide, one person had one bullet in their head, and the other had two. The police were trying to figure out who killed who Ain,t it no wonder we brits all love Sherlock

...anything but.....

Unless we see how his hands were tied, one cannot say whether it was possible or not. So I wouldn't rule out suicide yet.

How can the police be so stupid I think what they are saying is quite impossible cop on cops

You can only shake your head in amazement and laugh.

Not if its wrapped in Clingfilm!

Erm, no! And i have to wonder how you know?

I can see it now,,,

Hords of policeman taking pics with their smartphones then calling around to get the best price, this would be step 1 of the investigation.

Step 2, look for local food vendor.

Talk to any cop or EMT in any city in the world and you will find that no matter where, people kill themselves every day, often in bazaar and convoluted ways...not unique to Thailand

According to WHO, Thailand was tied with Cuba for 56th place in 2012 world suicide stats...below the USA (50), Japan (17) and surprisingly, S.Korea at #2. Guyana was #1

Of course. mere facts wont deter the TV Constant Conspiracy Squad from their "Only in Thailand" mentality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate#List_by_the_World_Health_Organization_.282012.29

OK, bear with me and please be gentle with me, but I don't understand.

I accept that there are suicides in every country (though I'm not sure I've heard of any among the inuit).

I accept that Guyana was number 1 for suicides in 2012. and that Thailand had fewer than the USA (which I understand - if I lived in the USA, I think I'd want to commit suicide).

What I don't understand is why that means that the suicide in question may not have been a suicide..

Please help, words of one syllable would be helpful Please remember I'm not Thai but I have lived in Thailand for a while, so the old IQ might be on the wane.

This is why they have reenactment here for crimes.

No culprit for reenactment = suicide

??

I can imagine the police now;

Senior copper: "Looks like suicide to me"

Junior copper: "Should we not run a blood test first before we inform the family?"

Senior copper: "We could. Or, we could go for dinner"

Junior copped: "Dinner it is, then"

Nice to see you found something to chuckle about in this story....May he RIP.

Another Thai serial suicide killer running throughout the country.

"Police said he probably arranged the hand restraints before wrapping his head in the tape. He would have been unable to breath and then placing his hands in the restraints and tightening them he would have been unable to save himself from suffocation."

Beautiful detective work; look on in envy Mr. Holmes. The local police have it solved. Suicide, most definitely.

Thailand's finest (as Trink use to say)

The way this is described as a suicide is beyond me. Please Mr. Policeman can you show us how this is possible. Even Poirot couldn't come up with that. Very sad and condolences for the family.

By Thai standards it not the most bizarre suicide; at least with his hands tied and his mouth and nose taped, he did not then throw himself off a bridge.

RIP, poor man.

... and I am not making this up. Words I use often when explaining Thailand to friends back home.

Makes a change; it's normally farang deaths that see a quick conclusion fashioned from inconclusive circumstances.

Why dont they just say " died of natural causes" to make themselves look less stupid

Suicide: Just the police way of doing as little police work as possible.

And all based on: No Signs of a Struggle.

In their expert opinions, If there is no signs of a struggle....then all mysterious deaths are decidedly Suicides...lol

Cheers

he taped around his head after binding his hands? or he bound his hands after taping his head? Watson something's afoot!

Maybe a quick look at the companies books may have some answers.

Do you think there might be a connection, of course this depends on there being any company books to look at ?
