it happens many times in thailand usually the man splits up with the girlfriend after getting eyed up or sleeping with a thai girl , if you come here to thailand with a foreign partner get used to him getting chatted up by the local thal girls a sad end but to be honest question marks on accidental hanging ?? seems a common theme here

better to either not come here with your partner or find a new partner that would respect you and not flirt with the thai hookers.

The boyfriend was the first to find her. UUM sounds suspicious to me.

Well, if they were sharing a room then the BF would be the most likely to find her, don't you think?

[mercman24]

thai visa detective . so why would anyone else find her. the only one to come through the  door of my condo is me and the person who i am with, why would anyone else find her

[irwinfc]

i may be lacking some imagination here, but exactly how can someone accidentally "hang" one's self?

What is so strange? According to the story she returned to their room at 3am and he returned at 6am. How many others would you think would go to the room between 3-6am?

I have never come across an accidental suicide in my life!

"Cheap and unregulated alcohol"

 

Funnily enough neither are true in Thailand any more (Lao Khao excepted).

It helps provide an explanation, even a level of denial, to those left grieving, asking how and why etc. An accident sounds better in the eulogy.

In some instances a court ruling misadventure/accident etc may be the difference if an insurance policy is payed out or not.

I'm guessing the mother had knowledge of past behaviors, i.e threatening to kill herself for attention when upset or previous attempts where she did just enough to cause great concern but not actual death. Somewhat common in young women.

Insurance company is going to challenge that, or maybe not.

Does anyone do a proper investigation here or is it too much work?

[NanLaew]

And some here like to comment on the Thai male's fragile ego when a similarly relationship-related tragedy makes the local news.

[LannaGuy]

RiP and very sad but 'accidently'?  just the mother grasping at straws as she finds it inexplicable (understandably) but people do kill themselves in dramatic circumstances unfortunately

completely irrelevant as this is a female, non-Thai and is about a broken heart and a short, quick decision that has terrible long term consequences. I don't hear of many 'Thai males' doing this they just go berserk and kill people and then say 'sorry'

I was suggesting that the unfortunate girls foreign boyfriend going off and chatting up other girls 'in her face' after having a public falling out was the prime mover regardless of what state of mind or inebriation either party was in. The fragile male ego isn't a Thai prerogative, neither are the consequences.

I see you are new.

 

Don't worry, the Thai Visa Sherlocks are already on the case.

Suggesting the boyfriend did the deed.

Well cannot argue too much, wouldn't  be the first time an mma fighter snapped on his partner. And would not be the last.

That's because the people who have done it don't like to talk about it

[williamgeorgeallen]

why would any western man bring a girlfriend to thailand. must be a frustrating place to be if you cant take full advantage of thailands attractions.

[Classic Ray]

Having a UK coroner rule as suicide also means she cannot officially be buried in consecrated ground, e.g. a church graveyard, so coroners for the reasons mentioned above and this reason are often reluctant, if any other verdict is possible, to record a death as suicide. Such a sad end and waste of life.  

[Kabula]

In view of all the suicides, and murders reported in the news this year over romance,  and jealousy, it appears renting companionship is a safer option. 

 

As as soon as the irrational drama begins it's comforting to know that one can pay them to go away and look forward to a new exciting love bomb and adventure the following day.

 

The quote from an unknown author; "love is a serious mental illness, "is becoming clearer to me this year.

 

It appears even a happy ending at a massage parlor is a safer option!  At least it saves the Police, paramedics, hospital and morgue workers time.

 

Another little known option is sitting on display waiting for your embrace. The sex bot below!

 

If drama starts up with the a bot that speaks, you simply remove the head and place it on the shelf for another day!  

 

Up to you...
