little mary sunshine Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 So sad, so young but sounds very unstable to kill herself, I imagine a history of serious mental problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zorro1 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 From what do you hang yourself in a hotel room?You don't need to swing 3 foot off the ground, you only need an anchor point and to lean forward enough to pass out, gravity takes care of the rest Shoe laces will do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's assume your feet need to be just 3 inches off the ground and a bed sheet is available which you twist into a makeshift rope. So, now what do you do? The living room I am in now has one door which is probably 8 feet in height, but where do I attach my sheet-rope and how? I suppose I could knot up one end of the sheet-rope into a large ball and lay the sheet-rope over the top of the door with the ball on the outside and then close the door. Now, if I make a noose on my side of the door that is sufficiently high off the floor, allowing for stretching, and then stand on a chair, it might be possible. Seems like a lot of ingenuity involved. Nevertheless, she must have achieved it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackie Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Entirely plausible. My condolences to her family. She won't be the last one to kill herself over a man. Her boyfriend most likely went out with some hot Thai chick and left her alone in a hotel room. He got a real surprise when he returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Amazing that the focus of this thread is about the practicality of hanging yourself in a hotel room. Maybe indicates how matter of fact death in Thailand has become. I suggest that this will probably get reported in the UK and that they may have more idea of what caused this tragedy. Expecting actual facts in Thailand is just p*ssing in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being that they are hanging below the doorknob and not above it. I don't think the guy meant that you had to be taller than the apparatus you use to hang yourself with, just that it has to be above your head and neckline when in use.

Sorry to say this but once again no money on the table.I have lived in Chalong and twice (with daughter and girlfriend) experienced the Chalong Police Station degree of assistance. Both times were non existent. They would be best to get the big boys down from Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting actual facts in Thailand is just p*ssing in the wind. Discussion threads tend to evolve, with one question leading to another ... and then two protagonists argue for days over a point that is barely connected to the topic.

I never interpreted it as him saying that they would leave the body in the morgue and do nothing until he's finished other work. There will be officers looking into the case from the get go as this is a publicised foreign death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
