bamukloy Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I can understand Thai police assume that Thais can die like this, as most cannot swim and would panic when in water. But come on, this is an adult and German and it is in a few feet of water? Tell me she collapsed in heart attack or whatever but please dont tell me she fell in and drowned. Theres gotta be more to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti24 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 "They have sent the body for autopsy to try to learn the cause of death." I thought an autopsy was to PINPOINT the cause of death. But, she is a foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthemoon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Was is necessary for ThaiVisa to publish her ID card? No respect for privacy here. Do you even know whether the family has been notified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought an autopsy was to PINPOINT the cause of death. But, she is a foreigner. Actually it is a medical examination of the body of a person who has died with the purpose being to answer questions about the person's illness or the cause of death. Learn is fine in the context used. Could have said establish as well. Just a play on words me thinks. Edited May 20, 2017 by Si Thea01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) This is slightly off topic. But only slightly! I read recently that over 600 westerners die in Thailand every year. Accidental death; suicide; murder and many just unexplained. It seems excessive to me. Why so many and how does Thailand compare to other countries in this?

Probably quicker to search the internet for the answers. You are right there but this is a forum and people's personal views are worth reading. But if you don't want to comment then don't. I have lost a few of pals down the years, and two are in the 'mysterious deaths' category.

cyberfarang Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Seems that most Farlangs living in Thailand die in either two ways. Falling off high buildings or floating in lakes. Seems this proves that Farlangs can`t fly and can`t swim. I truly believe that there are people getting away with murder out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres gotta be more to this So many gross generalizations Thais arent adult Thais cannot swim They panic in water All germans can swim All germans are adults Germans dont panic Westerners ( or germans) cant die in a 'few feet of water' Old western people are incapable of falling over and drowning. The major inference being if she didnt have a heart attack because it happened in thailand it must be foul play.

Do you even know whether the family has been notified?She was actually living with her German son and his partner. I know the lady in question as her son runs a popular restaurant in the area and she could often be seen there. I wish all the best to her son. I really wish these photos would not show up on thaivisa. Imagine she was your mom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had two pals of mine die within the last few years. Both deaths were mysterious to say the least. The thing that links them for me is the total disregard of protocol in both instances by the authorities. One, a wealthy OZ chap, was cremated the morning after his death when an officer from the Australian embassy, and family members were on their way to the village. They arrived way to late!!

Gary A Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Some of you remind me of a "mysterious" death near where I live. A friend of mine and a couple of his friends were having a few beers at his house. He complained about his left arm aching and his back hurting, then dropped dead. His Thai wife was there also. His Thai wife insisted that his farang friends murdered him. There are paranoid people, both Thai and farangs. People here do occasionally get away with murder but I don't think it is as common as some of you obviously believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
