Careless talk can only add to the distress and grief thst the family and loved ones must already be feeling.

I'll bet that even if there were no physical stab wounds then there were emotional and psychological stab wounds. He died of wounds they used to say after the war, respectful of what they had gone through, irrespective of how they physically died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunroaming Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Personally if I was going to end it all by jumping then I would have wanted to be higher than the fourth floor (in Britain that is the 3rd floor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I read the headline like the Boys in Brown investigated this case: 1/2 a second to come to the suicide conclusion. But he was pushed first. And stabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like another case of brain-dead summisations by know-all farangs, who give the rest of us a bad name, again!! CCTV evidently shows him in some apparent emotional distress pacing in and out of his room.. if he'd been stabbed, then it took a bloody long time for it to 'kick in' and force him to tumble (not even from his room apparently) to the ground!!! People like yourself simply will not have it that some foreign guys really do commit suicide here for whatever reason.. gotta be a police cover up or, at best, a set-up by other Thais!! (Not that these things can't and don't ever happen, but some objective balance please, fellas!! 'Oh really?.. Mmm.. Well, <deleted> if I know!' at least would be more objective - and certainly truer! - than anything usually posted on here!!!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauleddy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Dunromin is correct! Jump from 3rd Floor and you can sometimes get away with broken ankles and hip dislocations. You need 21 floors----at least, I knew somebody who wanted it so he went up 21. PS--I worked in ER for 12 years and I have seen more flyers (down) and One Unders (train and tube) than all of you amateur balcony watchers. But I feel better now that people have started to jump again. We had a long dry patch (not a sticky patch...). Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which conceivably came from the latches and frame of the 4th floor elevator area window that he climbed through before falling to his death.

cyberfarang Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thailand has another new Farlang member of the flying club. It is believed he jumped having been depressed from personal problems. That`s it then, case closed, don`t bother to ask any questions, cause of death has already been decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
