george Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 NZ man kills self by jumping off building BANGKOK: -- A New Zealand man took his own life by jumping off a six-storey guesthouse in Dusit district yesterday. The body of Graham Robert Jackson, 24, from New Zealand was found with his wallet containing 2,700 baht cash, in front of Nisa Guesthouse in Soi Phitsanulok 3 at 1pm yesterday, after he was seen jumping from the rooftop of the building. Police inspected the man's room and found no traces of a struggle or ransacking. Initial investigations showed the man had been visited by a woman in the morning. He had ordered meals and beverages for lunch before jumping off the building, police said. --Bangkok Post 2004-02-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Well it wasn't the girl since she had left. 2700 baht still in the wallet. Another TiT mystery. Lets' see if the Kiwis get one of their finest to come take a look see, or if they leave it to the brown-shirt brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Was that a recent report, or an old one from about the time of the Rugby World Cup semi-finals ??? May give an insight into his motives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IT Manager Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I think it's quite tasteless to make fun of someones' recently leaped loved one. Tasteless indeed. 6 floors runs a risk of uncompleted action, but perhaps he was a beer drinker and had the weight to pull it off. Splat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemJem Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I don't see why some of you like to make jokes about the misfortunes of others, in this case someone's DEATH ! I find this attitude quite sick ! Maybe the guy had had severe psychological problems and no one to turn to. Regards, Jem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I find this attitude quite sick ! Maybe the guy had had severe psychological problems and no one to turn to. i find it really sick too, for 2700 baht he could have went to the EDEN CLUB and two chicks could have made him feel like superman. wait a minute, superman could fly...

Pink Mist Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 With all this talk about leaping to ones death, that not correct, it's not the leap that kills you. It's the sudden stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read somewhere that anything 4 or under was most likely not going to do the job. 5+ floors should generally be safe (safe?). Didn't a farang die falling off a skytrain station a few years back? That would only be the equivelant to about 4 floors. Do we only hear about the farang jumpers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
