Belgian ends it all with a helium bottle in Bangkok

This is the besy way to go for all concerned when the time has come...can use nitrogen as well. Clean, neat, and painless. (Google "NO2 exit bag")

It has been in my worst case exit plan for several years now.

Really? You have an exit plan? Twice I have seen something like this on this forum. Very sad indeed.

Perhaps you spend that energy thinking about how to improve your life rather then how to end it..

Police discovered that he was suffering from a liver disease.

Amazing detective work at the scene with a scalpel?

Give the BiB a break....think about how/why they may have reached that conclusion.

There was possibly documentation, a note left by the guy, letters from doctor/s, correspondence to/from friends referring directly to the disease.

Should I go on?

It frequently galls me that posters stick the boot in, and not just into the cops for their supposed lack of investigative skills, without giving adequate, or even any, thought to the situation about which they are commenting.

My life is pretty good at the moment thank you but most probably at the end of my life (hopefully in 15 or 20 years) I know that I will end up dying possibly of something incurable. Now why would I want to spend large amounts of money in a hospital to give myself a few extra weeks or months of life as a vegetable or having my mind stuck in a body that can't do anything.

My neighbours Mum was taken to hospital a few years ago and was stuck with tubes to feed her, tubes to take her body waste away, stuck with needles, pumped full of drugs etc. She was in a room on her own in the hospital with a bed that went every which way, sat TV, fed and watered regularly, checked every few hours by nurses and doctors all to gain some extra life.

But what kind of a life is that? After a few days she told her daughter that she wanted to come home and be with her family and dis at home with them around her, and that is what she did. She gained a few extra weeks of life at a cost of over a million baht

For me, I want to die at home with my family at the time of my choosing in a comfortable way having made all the arrangements for my families future and any money that I don't spend at a hospital will go to my family and their future.

I have had a great life with 25 years in the military, a few years in the UK, then working offshore for 15 or so years. I have lived and worked in 38 countries but I call Thailand my home now because it is where I live and settled down. I retired 7 years ago and haven't left Thailand since.

I have been married twice with a son from each marriage plus a grandson and granddaughter in the UK.

I am now living in retirement in rural Thailand quite contentedly with little room or need for improvement nor do I feel the need for it. I get some exercise by cutting the grass on 2 or 3 rai for an hour or so 5 days a week, I have my computer and the internet, lots of old movies and TV series that I liked, I make a lot of my own food. I have a wife and son who love me as I love them. I have a couple of motorbikes I can ride and an old pickup truck for longer trips.

At some time I will quit riding the motorbikes and probably driving the truck as well when I feel that my eyesight and reactions are failing me.

Sure If I had a bit more money it would be nice but I have worked my 50 years and enjoyed my life.

Please tell me how you think I can improve my life.

It is because they are computer detectives, doctors, policemen etc and probably they have little else to do. Thinking is not really required required when posting on the internet because we are all anonymous and who cares anyway.

I hear what you say billd, but it seems many are incapable of any thought, let alone rational thought!!!

It does become a little tedious when the cops say something, the reasons for which are not obvious to a forum reader, and posters immediately stick the boot into the cops.

When you're reading press reports, you must remember that not many, if any, journalists are specialists in any subject, so you're reading a layman's interpretation of events, which, frequently, are not a true representation of the actual occurrences

RIP and my sincere condolences to his family & friends

Why ?

Why not?

Because it doesnt mean anything.

It might to friends and family reading, and your words don't help. One can be as cold as they like, but best to do so in silence.

His name was Stefan Dondht and he was my colleague for the last 2 years at rajabhat suan sunandha uni in dusit. He was a lovely guy who sadly suffered from pancreatitis and bouts of this disease were excruciatingly painful for him. I don't believe he had a serious girlfriend and think this is hearsay from the retarded police. He had missed the last 2 months of school and been in and out of hospital and in tremendous pain and i assume it was too much for him and ended it in the best way for him and a considerate way for those who found him. and who gives a shit where he got the gas from? condolences to his family and friends, his students and colleagues will miss him an awful lot

Where do you buy helium to start with? only in a party's accessories shop I guess, but this a restricted

substance to buy

If true, this makes no sense. Why would an inert gas be restricted?

I've known this for a long time - but the amount of "discretionary' helium, that is, the helium we use to fill party balloons, commit suicide and make chipmunk impressions is microscopically trivial compared to what is used by industry. Cutting off the general public from buying helium will do next to nothing to extend the available reserves.

at least he didn't take out the Ozone on the way out

RIP and my sincere condolences to his family & friends

Why ?

Why do you think? What an idiotic thing to ask.I can't believe some posters here. Just stop an think that the guy's friends and relative will find this on google.

My condolences to friends and family.

Not for me I'm afraid. Really have never got the point of RIPing people who have nothing to do with my life in anyway.

If I saw someone in a life or death situation I would do my best to try and help them.

Saying RIP every time someone dies is of no help at all.

If it is indeed restricted, it's because people use it to take their own lives.   The world is becoming more of a nanny state every day, and governments feel the need to take care of every contingency, even though the vast majority won't even consider suicide by helium.
