What a way to go! Unidentified foreigner slumped up against beer bar pole for two hours

 

Pictures (2) Sanook

 

Pattaya police were called after an unidentified foreigner was found dead on his knees slumped up against a beer bar pole in the area behind the Marine Hotel in South Pattaya last night.

 

The man - aged about 50 - had been in that position more than two hours before anyone thought to inquire about his welfare, reported Sanook.

 

 

He had no ID, was wearing a yellow shirt, grey shorts and sandals. He had a cap and earphones still in.

 

There was no sign of a struggle or marks on the body and police are mystified as to why he died.

 

The body was taken to the morgue for autopsy.

Hmmm! Alchohol poisoning might be a good place to start.

Got to say though that customer service at this bar sucks. Dead for 2 hours before anyone bothers to even check him?

Thainess at its best, RIP mate, just wondering if anyone would have acted any quicker if the deceased was Chinese ?

[newatthis]

And not even an ounce of decency to cover his body. Lets just stand and gape.

I gather you mean, a sad reflection on what Thai society have become, sad part about it is, its always been that way, in other words if this was in a western country, I am 99.9% certain passers by would have checked in on him more earlier that 2 hours or at least called for some support group or police to attend much earlier than to sit and stare and ponder while eating grass.

 

No ID tells me some shallow punk took his wallet while he was deceased, sad, really sad this Thai society in the touristy areas, I hope they get what Greece got back in the 90's, very few tourists because of their selfishness, sending many businesses against the walls.

I guess when the music stopped ,he was left without a chair

I can understand why passersby would think he's just another Pattaya drunk. It's an unusual position in which to die. Although staff from the adjacent bar should have checked much earlier. New sandals, hadn't been in Thailand long. Overweight, heart issue?

No, not at all. It is a reflection of the area in which he was in, and of his socio demographic characteristics.

Most likely a heart attack.  When the left ventricle blocks you have a limited window to respond before you die. It's why it is called the widow maker. Perhaps he was just a typical patron of the bar and it was used to people passing out.

What a sad way to go.

2 Hours isnt to bad , I suppose that its not uncommon to see drunken foreigners slumped outside bars in Pattaya , had he been laying down in the street , he probably would have got attention immediately . 

[sanemax]

I hope they check to see whether he had any sleeping pills in his system , a few of those chuckced unknowingly in your drink, can prove to be fatal

True. Normally five minutes without a beer and they'd be on your case trying to get you to order another one.

Not necessarily , I often go out without I.D. as do a number of my friends.

I would say that most of us , maybe all of us , do not take ID/PPs out with us when we go drinking .

   No valuables and nothing that we dont want to lose , so you suggestion that someone must have robbed him isnt a correct assumption to make

I dont where your from but your figure of you would get help in the west 99.9% of the time, is so stupid. All you have to do is Google it to know its a worse situation especially in large western cities.

Put together this situation where many of the people passing by know that they do not speak his language. Know that so many Farangs lay on the floor of that city drunk day and night. But of course like most of your posts the only reason is Thai Society. I have just put one video of UK where they tested your 99.9% theory out, 4 hours for some laying in the middle of the street---no not just laying there, but calling out and groaning, in pain a little shorter if your a younger girl (seems women stick together a bit) If you want to check there is a whole raft of these videos in different cities. One has a person in Berlin laying in the road while the traffic drive around them.

But 4MyEgo here....its Thainess at fault once again......

So stupid....lol

 

I live with my head above the sand, I know Thai's, you obviously don't, as for your video on the UK, would never visit it as I know what the Brits are like as well.

 

Education has always been a key, sadly most are not educated like some.

His money seems to have vanished. 

 

[Jeremy50]

'What a way to go'  Is this implying that this is a good way to go?  It's not. A tragic, sad, and sleazy end with all dignity stripped away, ignored, and then gawped at by the local human herd.

His point was that the deceased may not have had his wallet stolen as someone here suggested.
