Flashermac Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 A 52-year-old American plunged to his death from the 27th floor of View Thalay Condominium at the Central Pattaya at 7:30 am while police were trying to persuade him to change his mind. The tourist was identified by his passport as Douglax Rex Rinehart. He left a note, saying he had run out of cash but he did not want to go home. The jump was witnessed by police, security officers and several other people. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/American-tourist-plunges-to-his-death-from-27th-fl-30247027.html He never thought of trying to get some sort of work?

StoneSoup Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 There is always "alternative therapy": http://totalfratmove.com/guy-goes-to-mexico-to-kill-himself-spends-week-doing-coke-and-banging-hookers-decides-to-keep-living/ I guess - different strokes for different folks. "Gentleman Jim" Corbett: “Fight one more round. When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the center of the ring, fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish that your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.†Cheers, SS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 If I'd killed myself because I had no money (bankrupt) I would have been dead 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jitagawn Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 For many decades while living in San Francisco we surfed under the Golden Gate Bridge at Ft Point. I saw many a jumper,several who were dangerously close and one that survived. Very ugly .. We asked the kid who survived after we dragged him to safety why he jumped. He answered..."for the hell of it" :shocked: :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
