Pattaya-

Mr. John Toms, 68 years old, of England pictured above in happier times is suspected to have killed himself earlier this week when he allegedly jumped from the balcony to the ground from his 18th floor condo in Pattaya.

Mr. Toms was finalizing a divorce with his former wife and had been working out an agreement with former partner Thanyaporn, 55, who had found a new and younger boyfriend. He had filed final divorce papers in Pattaya Court the day of the tragedy. Friends of Mr. Toms state the divorce was far from amicable and had put Mr. Toms into a deep state of depression and anger.

After filing divorce papers he returned home with his current girlfriend Naritha Daosri, 49, before sitting on his balcony at the Lumpini Ville Naklua apartment block. Ms. Daosri stated that he seemed distant and unapproachable and refused to leave the balcony and had been sitting there for hours, quote, staring into space.

Naritha said at approx. 1:00AM she went to check on him and was horrified to discover that he was missing from the balcony. She looked over the railing and to her shock, she stated, saw that he was lying on the ground eighteen stories below next to the swimming pool.

 Ms. Naritha called the police who responded quickly.

Officers arrived and found him in a “pool of blood”. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police will be investigating further but believe that he killed himself due to the depression over the recent divorce. He leaves behind a teenage daughter from his ex-Thai wife.

Based on the information in the article this might be one of the cases where it really is a suicide.

Really sad to read about him . His girlfriend genuinely loved him . Mental depression is a very dangerous thing . Nobody knows what it is like until you have it in you . 

RIP John Toms

Very sad. He couldn't see that he was being fleeced. R.I.P.

Guys try to satisfy their sexual fantasies to sleep with "exotic" women.......It’s like a recurring obsession.

And the women stay true to their game. It’s always about the money, never about love.

Women from this occupation will always be problematic.

How many of these guys who have come to their eventual end, say their – Living the Dream!

 ''I've given you everything, I've got nothing more''.

Sadly, a lot of men do and instead they get cheated on and then taken for everything they got. 

I can almost guarantee there's a guy in Patts or even falang land - who's giving everything he can, and will eventually be able to give no more. He'll then be at the impass of having to figure out whether he takes the long hard road to recovery and putting his life back together, or taking the balcony exit. 

We can all easily say we'll never find ourselves in that position, but the truth is it can easily happen the moment you "find the one." And you don't have to be in Pattaya for it to happen.
