Nongprue Police in East Pattaya were called to attend and investigate an apparant suicide at Moo Baan Seangsupha in Nongprue District.
At the scene they found a crowd of friends, neighbours and onlookers congregated to gawp outside a two storey shophouse. Inside they found the deceased Khun Tiengchai aged 26 who had hung himself from a metal grille over a window in an upstairs bedroom. He appeared to have died about 1 or 2 hours before his body was discovered. There was no signs of a struggle or any indications of foul play in the room and at this stage pending a post mortem examination police have ruled this a suicide.
In the room was a smashed piggy bank with a few coins strewn about along with some empty whisky bottles. Khun Tiengchai was a former professional boxer and the owner of a beer bar in Central Pattaya. Friends told police that Khun Tiengchai was in a depressed state as he was losing money heavily on his bar business and was gutted that a few days ago he didn't have enough money to buy his son a birthday present.
Another friend said that he was normally a happy guy and they had spent some time drinking and watching football on TV and she was very surprised that he had decided to take his own life.
