PHUKET: -- Friends today are making arrangements to have 41-year-old Danish expat Allan Birger Bruun buried on the island after he bled to death from slashing his arm on glass while breaking into his own home in Chalong last week.

 

Lt Jaras Lempan of the Wichit Police received a call from an emergency ambulance of Dibuk Hospital on Nov 6, leading to Maj Col Thada Sodarat of the Chalong Police arriving at Mr Bruun’s home shortly after.

 

“Mr Bruun had a very serious cut near his right elbow. He had severed a blood vessel and was bleeding profusely,” Col Thada told The Phuket News today (Nov 15).

 

“I believe he was locked out of his house and used his elbow to break the glass on the front door to get in,” Col Thada said.

RIP .  Not the smartest guy around is he? You can use any rock or solid objects to break the glass.   

 

[jerojero]

RIP. May have watched to many movies where windows easily smashed, without cuts?

[smedly]

who changed the locks on the home that he paid for

[changside]

Don't be so stupid. He probably went out without keys and locked himself out. 

[KarenBravo]

What an incredibly stupid way to die.......

[alfalfa19]

interesting that there's no blood on the broken window or the door.  i've severed a major blood vessel before, and it was immediately like a fountain.  no time delay whatsoever.

Why did he use his elbow, when he had all those dumbbells sitting just outside his door?

[DuiDui48]

if he had been paying attention he would have known that he needed to wrap a jacket around his arm before hitting the glass.

 

 

[smew]

not the highest IQ in that action there..dumbells would make me lead towards thoughts altering steroids ... sorry to all the clean body builders !

[little mary sunshine]

Used elbow not rock,brick,or board???  Sounds

like some 80 proof involved!!  

[lust]

But it looks cool in the movies! 

[Psimbo]

A sad incident but the usual callow and predictable know it all comments to follow. What a sad life some people live. 

[cmsally]

Not one drop of blood on that door. Is that possible ?

[colinneil]

Maybe my suspicious mind but, the glass looks like it was broken out not in, the doorknob is wrong.

No blood very suspicious i think.

Maybe somebody wanted him dead, wife girlfriend etc.

Unless he came home drunk at did it himself, but still no blood.

The photo shows the inside of the door.

 

If you expand the photo you can clearly see blood (or what looks like blood) on the edges of the broken glass.

 

Seems that he reached through to turn the doorknob, and his arm was sliced by the glass shard.

[Tchooptip]

No one made him a touniquet? Normally tight, right under the arm pit it should have worked, at least decreased the blood flow.

Or am I wrong?

[Honthy]

Surely, he was angry and used too much force the glass almost exploded here.

Not a wise thing to do.

RIP
