Beetlejuice Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Is this for real? They`re dying wholesale now. There is no explanation as to how the 29 year old woman died. 24 and 29, not exactly a ripe old age is it. I guess there will be no updates or follow ups to these stories, bad for business and we don`t want to spoil the tourist figures, do we? So more farang deaths to be listed as statistics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a Chap is found hanging in a doorway, it is usually caused by a failed unsuccessful attempt at suicide, frequently brought on by stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Two foreigners found dead in Saiyuan Rd, PhuketTanyaluk SakootFaetra Petillo. Photo: FacebookPHUKET: Two foreigners were found dead in Saiyuan Rd, Rawai, yesterday (April 30), in separate cases.The first was a young Frenchman, named by police as Dieu Yoann, 26, who was found hanged in a rented house in Saiyuan Rd, Rawai, at 5:30 yesterday evening.His body was discovered by the owner of the house after she smelled something bad and went to check. Looking through a window she saw the corpse hanging from a door frame by a piece of telephone cable.Called to the scene, police estimated that Mr Yoann had been dead about 10 days.The owner of house told police that Mr Yoann had rented this house for a year. He had no job, instead living on family money and spending his time “hanging out”.The body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital. Police said they would carry out an investigation to try to establish exactly how and why he died.At 10 pm, the body of a 29-year-old American woman, Faetra Petillo, was found in a guesthouse in the same road. She was found face-down on her bed, wearing a shirt and underwear. There were no signs of violence, but police said her face was “very white”.Ms Petillo, believed to be a freelance writer, editor and playwright from Brooklyn, is thought to have died not more than 12 hours before she was found, after having stayed just one day in the guesthouse.The cause of her death is being investigated.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/two-foreigners-found-dead-in-saiyuan-rd-phuket-39087.php-- Phuket News 2013-05-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potosi Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Let's try and solve the issue with maths. Thailand had 22 million foreign visitors per year in 2012, who stayed 9.19 days on average. A human life is 29,200 days long, 80 years, 9.19 days are 0.0315% of this figure. 0.0315% of 22 million people is 6,924. There is the number of moribund foreigners in Thailand in 2012. 19 per day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiz435 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think we can all agree , younger expats seem to die of unnatural cause in LOS with alarming frequency. Stating the obvious...Ruling out foul play would be the least that should be done in respect of these people. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Something wrong with the report about the Frenchman as door frames are usually encased in the concrete wall & also generally not high enough to hang oneself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
