Sriracha policed received a report that there appeared to be a man about to commit suicide on a bridge over a main road in their district.
They rushed to the scene along with a unit from the Sawang Prathip Rescue Foundation. Unfortunately they were too late. He had jumped and dropped to the road 6 meters below. He was still alive but had suffered serious injuries with a broken arm, broken leg and more importantly a broken neck. Medics from the rescue unit and from a medical team dispatched from Sriracha hospital did what they could for him and then transported him still in a serious condition to Sriracha hospital. The injured man was a Khun Saksit aged 50 who owns a local gift shop.
A witness said that he had seen the man who lingered on the bridge for about 5 minutes and seemed to be in a depressed state. Some local people were also concerned and they had called the police but too late as the man climbed onto the parapet and then fell to the ground.
Police made enquiries at the man's home where neighbours said that he seemed to be having family problems and that his wife had left the house a few days before and not returned.
Police also had footage from a CCTV camera on the bridge that had recorded the incident. Unfortunately Khun Saksit didn't make it. He succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the fall and died in hospital.
