Mekong Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 An American man fell to his death from his condominium on the 12th floor early Wednesday morning. Police said James Robert Mondy, 56, felled from his room on the 12th floor of the 17-storey VP Tower on Soi Rangnam in Rajthevi district at 1 am. His Thai wife, Duangta, 28, told police that she went to bed when the man was reading his emails and she was woken up by his shout, saying "I'm power." She said she saw her husband jump down. She said she has been living with him for three years. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumsoda Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Did you see the footage??? A perfect 3 and a half in the pike position, with 1 and a half twists. Most of the judges scored it well, but the average was brought down by the Thai judge, Miss Tittiporn, who deducted 1 full point for an "untidy entry".... said something about the hands should have been forward, rather than being taped behind the back!!!!!!

Faustian Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sorry, but he is alleged to have said "i'm power".....? WTF? Was english his second language? Such a dubious tale, just on this detail... I have the power, or i'm all powerful...sure i'd go with it....sounds like something an english speaker might mutter prior to their last moments hurtling to the floor, if they were on yaa baa or glue. But I'm power....nah....this is waaaaaaay dodgy. I wonder how much money he had and if wifey had access to PIN numbers...i bet the good ol' Thai police will investigate the matter thoroughly, god bless them.

khunsanuk Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi, Maybe he intended to say "I'm powerful", but well 12 floors isn't that high. "I'm power" Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Maybe he said it in Thai and got it slightly wrong. I am Power "Phom am naat" I am Immortal "Phom am ma dta" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Think Mekong & KS have solved the puzzle... ...Easy for "the wife" to misunderstand.... From a distance....Phom am naat.....and power do sound very much alike... ....besides she was prolly in the bedroom trying to find the ATM cards at the time and didn't hear clearly Cheers DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soongmak Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think we should open up a news section where only post of thai-style suicides are allowed. Not the most varied section off course, but doing the statistics each year should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damen Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 She said she has been living with him for three years. If things are what they appear to be, he's lucky he made it 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
