Northern Ireland Man Commits Suicide in South Pattaya Condominium

A young Northern Ireland guy who was seemingly stressed out after losing his job committed suicide in a rented South Pattaya Condo.

Pattaya police and a unit of The Sawang Boriboon rescue Foundation rushed to The Press Condominium. In a room on the 5th floor they found the body of 27 year old Mr Michael John White laying in the doorway to the bathroom. He had signs of bruising around the neck and indications that he had used a strap to hang himself from the shower curtain rail in the bathroom. There were no signs of wounds to the body or evidence in the condo to suggest foul play was involved.

Police interviewed Mr. White's girlfriend Khun Patcharee aged 24. She told the police that Mr. White had rented the condo about three months ago. She had talked with him on the phone a bit earlier and was worried as he seemed stressed out.

She went to the condo where he told her that he had been fired from his job as a security guard back home. He told her that he had no money to give her and that she go home. She was worried about him and was concerned that he might harm himself. An argument ensued and a basket he threw at her hit the TV which fell to the ground and smashed. He then went into the bathroom.

He was in there for a long time and despite her pleas he didn't answer and she couldn't get in as the door was locked from the inside. She called security at the condo reception and a guard came up and broke into the bathroom where they found the body of Mr. White. They tried their best to revive him but were not successful.
