Thread: Swiss man found hanged at home in Pa Khlok

PHUKET: A 37-year-old Swiss man was found hanged at his home at a housing estate in Moo 1, Pa Khlok, yesterday (July 31).

Capt Suchart Luecha of the Thalang Police was called to the house at about 3:30pm.


Officers along with rescue workers arrived to find the body of the man on the ground in the carport area in front of the home. A nylon rope was tied to a beam across the roof of the carport and a small wooden stool was placed below.


The man’s wife told police that she was in the house unaware of what her husband was doing. She later walked out of the house and found him hanging by the rope tied to the beam


“I brought his body down and shouted out for help, but it was too late,” she said.


The man, from Zurich, had suffered bouts of deep emotional distress previously in his home country, the wife said.


“He was staying with his father in Switzerland. He had tried to commit suicide, but his father and police were able to convince him to stop in time,” she said.


“I never thought that he would try again,” she added.


The man’s body was taken to Thalang Police Station for further examination.

I always find suicide so sad and senseless. so many people fight for their lives through cancer and other terrible diseases while others throw it away. Even here on TD.

Poor lass, she clearly has never read anything suicide, or perhaps even spoken to a doctor about how to help him. Because suicidal people nearly always try multiple times.

Jesus. 37. Way too young.

Yes

But people count the pluses and minuses.

Sometime the adding up goes the suicide way.

Must be the hardest math to do
