buy an injection needle and blow air in your vains

Or some KCL solution

 A knife in your chest !!! cmon

 

Yes, air embolism a lot better than knife in the chest, but a magic potion by a medical doctor would be most likely.

Poor guy. One can only imagine how he must have been feeling to end his life in such a horrific fashion, if this is indeed what happened.

 

Some Forum members (they know who t hey are) should be ashamed for posting such insensitive rubbish on this incident - as should the moderators for allowing them to do so.

 

Have you no respect at all for the suffering of this unfortunate man before he died or for the ordeal his wife and relatives must now be enduring?

[Bastos60]

What? He didn't run into his own knife? 

[swissie]

This "official" suicide BS will go on forever, unless EVERY death of a Farang will be subject of an autopsy, surveilled by medical staff employed and certified by Farang Embassies.

Just ONE point: It makes a big difference, if "the cause of death" is of "natural causes" or not, if there is a "Life-Insurance" situation present.
Cheers.

Spot on, and every single similar thread is the same.

Its bloody disgusting to say the least.

As much as i hate moderation of forums, these and other sensitive topics really do need to be moderated to hell.

Stabbing a knife in your chest?!  cmon !!

You sit in bath, drink a bottle of rum and slit your wrist. 

 

 

At 81, one last shagathon should shut down the ticker.

[WhyYouTalkMeBad]

Most of the suicide cases are from the lower classes and involve heavy drinking and a fantasy that a bar girl will really love them. Others are sick guys on deaths door.
But the fact that for the most part, family doesn't catch the first flight to pressure the media for an inquest speaks volumes.

[Foozool]

It is so sad to be ended this way. 

[cyberfarang]

“Regardless, we have had the man’s body taken to Patong Hospital for further examination.

 

I`m not psychic, but I am predicting the results will conclude he died from a stab wound.  Just a hunch that`s all.

[seaninkorat]

For the love of God! How long are these bent cops going to get away with stuff like this. Deliberately shallow corrupted investigations. Wherever a Police General is 'on the take', there is no truth or justice. Mon Dieu! (I'm outta here).

[balo]

Not sure if it was a suicide , but have some respect instead of posting crap. 

 

RIP to the old man . 

 

[realenglish1]

A knife in the chest as surmise its suicide I have never in my 64 years head of such a ridiculous thing  Unless he fell forward onto the knife it would be very difficult to stab yourself in the chest Lots of bone to go  through

 

This is not good police work Its the work of Keystone cops

Surely if a person was going to end their own life with a knife it would be wrists or neck, not chest.

Not always. I saw a woman who shoved a kitchen knife under her breast bone into her heart to make a point.

[Chris Lawrence]

Strange story? My Father just died of cancer. In the end he just lacked any form of energy. As a doctor I would have thought there would be a number of ways to end your life as humanly as possible. A lot of energy needed to force a knife into the chest.

 

Doesn't sound like a mercy killing/death.

[George FmplesdaCosteedback]

I suppose this was a case of the French version of Harakiri,

or "Henri le-Kire"...

Not easy to stab yourself in the chest, lots of bones to avoid.

RIP old boy, I hope you enjoyed the 81 years.

I wonder where his missus is?

[Jonmarleesco]

Ah, another case solved, Holmes style. 

 

Is it usual for a suicide victim to stab himself in the chest? Not the easiest place to do it. 

[freethinker]

This is starting to get Kafkaesque! What the <deleted> is the police doing? How many westerners need to get killed (read: murdered) before the police start investigating these deaths properly? Did they check security footage? Interview the neighbours or the wife or the wife's Gik Somchai? Was there a blood splatter analysis done or any kind of crime scene investigation? Did they even check for prints on the murder weapon and around the house? 

 

Killing oneself in this fashion is EXTREMELY rare. Hell even jumping doesn't rate very high and it seems in Thailand farang jumps to their death every day. 

 

[FarangJon]

Thai police is corrupt and incompetent.

There are many options for a suicide, but who the hell is using a knife and stabbing himself into the chest?

Oh man, every kid knows it better.

Would a frail, cance5r-ridden 81 year old have the strength to stab himself in the chest?

if someonekindly assist sure it can be done

[diehard60]

where are the cops getting these ideas? no one would stab them self in the chest to take their own lives.

[portroyal]

French are very clever comitting suicide

Remember a former french Prime minister (Pierre Beregovoy) suicide with his own gun: the bullet was not of the size of the gun...

[Stargeezr]

Did the poice check the kniofe for prints that were not the French Mans, perhaps some other person?

  81  and may have had the courage to do that, but I highly doubt it. Not a common way to commit suicide

at all.

Geezer

I beg to differ... untrained you say

these are specially trained police in the art of not making paperwork or tarnishing the tourist business !

[Jimbo2014]

At least they didnt say he slipped and fell on the knife.  It really does remind me of inspector Clouseau.  Ahhhh we suspect foul play!

Well killing yourself gently very much depends on where in LOS you are. In Isaan you put rat poison into your grub. In central areas you drive a motorbike precariously along a dangerous road until someone runs you off it. Up north and Pattaya you throw yourself out of a high rise condo. Drown whilst inspecting piling is also valid. Paracetamol and orange juice; very tasty!!

 

This method is so unusual, almost unique. Just one thrust and you're brown bread.

Another "suicide" deduced by the keystone cops yet they don't know where his wife is !!!!!

That didn't take long did it - read the linked article, she was outside with the Nurse and her husband waved at her, nurse went back in and found him bleeding.  BTW  they actually said "they didn;'t know where she was at the time of death, not that they couldn;t find her. 

 

RIP Old Timer, took a lot of balls to stick a knife in your chest, had to be the most painful way to die, being a doctor, I would have thought morphine OD would have been  easier way - you could have written your own script.
