bamukloy Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So, If was the type that kept himself to himself, why would anyone raise alarms after not seeing see him for just a few days? So how did they know anything was amiss?..to the extent that they thought it neccesary to break into the house? Judging by how they found him, he wasnt seen through a window or such. all very strange for everyone not to know anything but know something was amiss. Unless he was paying the rent each day, but unlikely since he had been there a while. something smells sour in Dodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamukloy Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 RIP. Here we go bitter farangs go for it ! What makes people that ask questions "bitter"? Granted, it is usually a case of poor reporting/writing/or leaving out facts, but you must admit a lot of what they write makes little sense. I often have a couple of various empty medicine tabs lying around ive forgotten to throw out. If i was found dead they would assume id taken all the meds in one go and committed suicide. that is the mentality/investigating they use. In this case (the way its reported) these people mysteriously knew to check the guys room (a loner) after just a few days.. no GF raising the alarm, no-one missing him to raise the alarm, and they couldnt see a body till they busted in. Why? I could be in my room X days alone and no-one suspects im dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 did I read "forced windows open on a honda CLICK" ???? If they moved the statement about the Honda Click to the sentence afterwards, it would have made more sense, but as per usual, proof readers seem to be absent again!

joboss Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 "Police said that Eddie James Wynne had been dead for three or four days," Would it be possible that there was a smell coming from the locked house? Maybe that is why the police broke in to investigate? Could it be that he habitually visited the shop in the gas station and he hadn't for a few days? Maybe they observed rats taking interest in the property? Homicide is a long way down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that to some the most interesting part of the report about the death of a foreigner seems to be whether his motorbike had windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I hope never to see, I hope they find the cause of death, very young to die at 50 but I guess could be heart attack, guess we will see.

ggt Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 This is just another in a series of unexplained foreigner deaths to be used as an excuse for Thai bashing... Leave them alone! They do the very best they can! Which is very little unless they receive international pressure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Brit, i'd say he would have had it running pretty cold. Not wanting to go into gruesome detail, but..closed up house, cold aircon going....
