rooster59 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Australian man, 49, jumps from eighteenth floor of Sathorn hotel Image: Thairath Police said a 49 year old Australian man jumped to his death from the 18th floor of a hotel in Sathorn Tai Road, Bangkok yesterday morning. Adrian John Finn was found on a second floor balcony area around 8am by a guest in a nearby room who alerted hotel staff. The guest said he had heard a thump of something falling in the early hours but didn't think anything of it at the time. The dead man was clothed, without shoes and wearing eye shades used for sleeping. Police checked his room on the 18th floor and found no signs of a struggle or anything out of place. On a table was a note to the dead man's elder brother Steven Finn detailing what to do after his death. The badly broken body was sent for an autopsy. Police are in contact with the Australian embassy and are contacting the elder brother to help with their enquiries. The hotel which was not named is in Soi Sathorn 1.

jerojero Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Do they really have to be pointing? And who's the jerks with iPhones in the foreground snapping pics? No respect for the dead. Utterly pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a predetermined strategy for many. Calculated. What I mean by that, is an ill informed collation of negative ideas by a particular demographic. They slip through home country GP's. Sry finn.

No respect for the dead. Utterly pathetic. You're assuming lots of things here. The person pointing likely belongs to the coroner's office, so too the guy with the phone probably recording the scene on video. Do you know what they're talking about? No. Are they just taking happy snaps to show their mates down the pub tonight? No. They're cops or whatever doing their jobs, you know? The very thing many posters to this site often criticize them for not doing. No respect for the dead? You should see what happens to the body when they do an autopsy. RIP Mr Finn.

The dead man was clothed, without shoes and wearing eye shades used for sleeping. Maybe Thechook was referring to this part of the article. Presuming that maybe he was sleep walking and this was maybe the reason he fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was that well-prepared for his sleepwalking episodes he would have booked a ground floor room. He let a note, he killed himself. The rest is just fashion commentary.

NCC1701A Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 RIP. At least he left a note for his brother. Many suicides here are not so clear. What a horrible thing for the other hotel guests to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up 2 me. By wearing the eye shades he could not see what was coming on the journey down, and would have been in a different state of consciousness to those survivors who have spoken of mid-fall terror. Try and imagine what that blind sensation might have felt like. After the initial acceleration he might not have even felt that he was moving (spatial disorientation), just the wind.

It would be nice if people at the end could at least consider the mess they leave behind. Perhaps it's time for proper suicide medication to be readily available.
