He had looks, youth and a great skill, yet he decides to check out. Maybe he knew something we don't.

He suddenly realized what we already knew, that he had the mentality of a 14 year old in a 24 year old body with a 12 year old's hobby. "a great skill"?

"He suddenly realized what we already knew."

You knew that before he knew it? That would mean you knew him before he killed himself? That does not seem possible.

Why does he have the mentality of a 14-yeaar-old? Suicide is common among middle aged and older people, not teenagers. What indicates that he is like a fourteen-year-old? Do a lot them travel by themselves?

So snowboarding is for 12-year-olds? So is baseball, basketball and most sports, but pros have to have a great skill if they play them, and even non professional adults play basketball and other sports, why not? Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport. Skateboarding will be in the next Olympics, by the way.

Maybe you should someone to help you on your next post. It is clear you have some issues with writing and thinking. For some reason, this suicide really bothered you.

That's great, glad to hear it! If you want to learn more, there's a lot of discussion around his death on this Swedish forum.

The Ghost Tower has become a popular attraction as word has gotten out to the public, and recent reviews on Google indicate that the security guards still take bribes from tourists for entry.

If you happen to visit Bangkok and go to the Ghost Tower, it would be interesting if you visited the site of the suicide on the 43rd floor and shared your experience here.

I wish I had known about this place when I visited there.

The contrast between how handsome he was in life and how hideous he was in death is striking.

good thing he didn't choose to jump instead
would take days to clean it all up

and the witness that ignored by the cops??
hell, the cops too might even think he saw a ghost, a hanging and smelly one

That would be easier if he just JUMPED from the tower's rooftop.

What could have driven him to do such a thing? He was a great looking lad with his whole life ahead of him.

We're all hideous in death.

If we lose our distractions, the view of this Idiot's Tale is depressing beyond endurance. We sink into the despair.
