Scotsman dead
in apparent suicide
Boonlua Chatree
An Scottish man fired from his job after staying in Pattaya for
three months died after apparently hanging himself in his Pratamnak Hill
apartment.
The body of Michael John White, 27, was founding hanging from a luggage
strap tied to a shower-curtain rod at the Press Condominium on Soi
Ratchavarun Sept. 24.
Other than the fatal injury, the body showed no other signs of assault,
although the apartment was torn asunder.
Girlfriend Pacharee Wapadthai, 24, said that before he died she had arrived
at the apartment to find him engaged in a serious conversation on the phone.
When he hung up, White told her that he’d been fired from his job with a
security company in Ireland.
She said her boyfriend told her he could no longer financially support her
and advised her to go home to Buriram. She refused, thinking White might do
something drastic to himself.
He excused himself and went into bathroom. She thought nothing of it until
some time passed and knocked on the door to get no reply. Security at the
apartment house broke the door to find him dead.
