    American found with slashed neck in Phuket rental room



    PHUKET: An American man was found dead, with deep slashes to his neck, at a rental room in Rawai about 7pm last night. Police suspect he may have taken his own life but have not ruled out other possibilities.

    “Inside the bathroom, we found the body of the 62-year-old victim (whose name is being withheld) lying face up, with a 15cm long wound on his neck, likely caused by a sharp object. We also found a box cutter covered in blood and a pair of scissors covered in blood in the sink,” said Maj Thada Sodarak of Chalong Police.

    I'm picking suicide.

    “The friend said the deceased's visa had expired a year ago and he had been overstaying ever since. He also told us that his friend had asked his embassy for help and was given advice on the documents he needed to provide but he did not have enough money to get his paperwork processed and pay for the visa,” said Maj Thada.

    You guys getting soft in your old age (I mean in a good way, not sarky way)...

    Good on yas!

    Suicide or murder? I won't comment... lest to say it's hard to cut one's own toenails at that age (for some) let alone cut one's throat..

    RIP

    Box-cutter would be pretty painless. Blood pressure in the brain would drop very fast and you would pass out before dying while unconscious. Could be worse I think.

    Good you added the "for some" bit. Not good to get on an old git shit list. Some of us might be very dangerous.

    One year overstay plus new visa pricey but hardly worth slitting your throat over. More to this than meets the eye.

    I almost didn't write that comment, as 62 really isn't "old"...

    My mum is that vintage and she's certainly not old... (a bitch, yes) old nay...

    Some people are old at 50..due to not taking care of themselves, while others look and behave young at 70 (think ENT) and your good self - as being the exception...
