webfact Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 German man found dead beside favorite swing in Lopburi Image: Naewna LOPBURI: -- A 74 year old German man was found dead in front of his Lopburi house beside his favorite place to take a rest - a swing. Khok Toom police and medics found the body of Burkhard Kurt Fly (name transliterated) lying next to a small swing in front of his house. He had been dead a few hours, reported Naewna. He had a cut on his head. Burkhard's Thai wife Sunee Yencham, 66, said that her husband had come to live in Thailand with her for about 14 years. He was a former building contractor in Germany. She said that after breakfast he had gone to lie down on his favorite swing. He was found around 4pm by someone passing the house and was already dead. The body was sent for autopsy.

HooHaa Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 a 74 year old man dying after breakfast beside his favorite swing is hardly a shame. i certainly would not mind dying in a hammock some time past 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 My wife nudges me at night if she thinks I've stopped breathing. I faked it the last time and when she put her finger under my nostrils, I couldn't hold back, started cracking up laughing. Told her she needs to trade me in for an older model to bend the odds in her favor a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickmouse1 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You can not lay down in that small swing. Breakfast to 4 pm. At least 5 hours if not 6 + His fear wife did not ask him if he wants a cup of tea or lunch? His dear wife did not check on him all these hours? What time his dear wife cooked and ate lunch? Alone? How about his life insurance. ..properties etc etc Had a cut on the head=Suicide trade mark Tai Sty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He suffers a health issue which makes him black out and he falls against the swing and then falls to the ground unconscious...hitting his head against the swing and/or the ground. Not exactly rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sahibji Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 i find it somewhat surprising and even disturbing that the wife did not enquire about her husband for such a long period of time. early attention might have saved him assuming that he sustained a cut from a fall or other minor accident.

What an insightful post. You really are filled with alot of hate. My wife says she loves that I am boring. Had her first husband been more boring than maybe he wouldn't have run off with a new younger girlfriend and kept most of their mutual property and all vehicles. Just a heads up but you are getting wound tighter & tighter each day on here. Most old guys will tell you that is a bad sign and you should take a vacation.

IMA_FARANG Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 As he was 74 years old it is possible he was on the swing and had a heart attack then simply fell forward hitting his head as he fell. I can;t say this is what happened, but it is a only a possibility. With no other details given no one can be sure what actually happened. Any speculation without futher dtails is meaningles speculation at his age. Anyway, rest in Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think my come back to someone filled with hate for Thais that is actually in appreciation of Thai women infers that I am wound tightly? I think you just may have been projecting with that comment, don't you? After all, it is me that has spent several posts defending someone from others hate filled posts, the only thing I expressed any hate for was other people's hate, while you have been defending your right to express hatred, I am sorry but your comebacks are getting lamer each time.
