Perhaps his wife left him. Stranger things have happened.

ok, he was a famous journalist, covering the region for a few press agencies, he just retired to work as the Embassy director of communication

got the alert this morning from the FCCT, he was also the Vice-President of the FCCT, quite a few of their members have been dying over the last few years

4pm, in a hot afternoon in Bangkok, I can see why he jumped from the station

probably depressed in his new job, or burnt out from his previous work

^Maybe he just stumbled across some of your posts!

:yawn

did someone fart?

I could see why reading Buttplug's shit would drive his countrymen to want to end it all.

Fell, or was pushed/nudged?

Perhaps slipped in his Philippe-Flops.







I'll get me manteau.

Jumped or fell? The story is quite ambiguous. The FCCT will have the gossip.

CCTV might find some Russian looking guy behind him a few minutes earlier.

he was the foreigner correspondent for a few news organizations, and did extensive coverage of the red and yellow demonstrations, and was quite knowledgeable about the political situation here

burnout, depression of a boring job at a desk, and that heat, and possible marital problem with a Thai spouse (who doesn't have one), and you have the receipe for a last jump from the BTS station

Wouldn't that be an excuse for a party?

Not at first......just later, as I have. What a relief it is now !

Not if she took all the money.

My money was on him very pissed after a long lunch and some spatial confusion no doubt precipitated by the oppressive heat. He should've got a taxi.

Perhaps he knew a bit too much and was helped over the edge. Wouldn't be the first time.

Messy way.....
