British businessman found dead at a resort in Chiang Mai

[misskit]

On October 1st, police responded to a report of a possible suicide case at an unnamed resort on the superhighway road. The body was found on a bed, fully clothed, with a mask connected to a nitrogen tank. At the end of the bed were lit scented candles placed in a circle. Police found no injuries on the body.


According to witness reports, the decease checked in the day before the discovery (September 30th). A housekeeper who was on duty knocked on the door but did not receive any response. As she found 700 baht in cash at the front of the room, she assumed that the decease had checked out and entered the room.


The decease had also left a rented car at the resort. After identifying the car dealer, police found that the deceased was complaining to the car dealer that his business was struggling and losing profit. Police concluded that is the motive which lead to the suicide.

Why confide in the car dealer? Okay a friend but.................

^ Yes, odd.

I wonder if a local businessman, a talented ex-cop or soldier, or a lucky relative of an as yet unmentioned wife, girlfiend, lover or aquantaince will buy the struggling company cheap and turn it round in a matter of months.

Reported differently in The Nation...

Ploenyok Wanichkit, 26, a staff member at the resort, told police that the deceased had arrived at the resort in a white car accompanied by a woman.

The couple checked in at around 11am on Monday and the woman left alone with the car early on Tuesday morning.

Lighting candles before you off yourself is a British thing?

Having a canister of liquid Nitrogen gas.? Only one purpose but suicide, I imagine..

Maybe scented.

Decomp is not a nice smell. Very considerate of him.

It seems Brits have a penchant for knocking themselves off in LOS. Maybe commensurate with the high Brit population there or just a Brit thing.

It seems that way, but it's probably because you only read British news.
