Police Lieutenant Colonel Wiwat made his way to house number 14/3 in Soi Nong Get Yai 9 in Nong Pla Lai to investigate a suspected suicide of an American resident. Police were met at the scene by the Son of the deceased, Mr. Franklin Lynman Nooner, who mentioned that his father was involved in an accident 6 months ago which left him with brain damage resulting in physical disabilities. The victim, Mr. Franklin Nooner Snr. had attempted suicide on two previous occasions. This time, he had placed a plastic bag around his head and tied it tightly with a shoe lace. There were two suicide notes next to the bed signed and dated by the deceased which confirmed he no longer wanted to live because of his disabilities which were severely affecting his quality of life. Police inspected the body of Mr. Nooner inside the master bedroom and confirmed that nothing was found inside the room suggesting foul play, however they will await the results of a post mortem examination before they confirm that suicide was the cause of death.
