Wild guess..........

"He had been in Thailand during the current visa amnesty period, according to her, but his passport visa was reportedly expired for some time."

........meaning he was heading for the Overstay desk?

Isn't there a Russian embassy in Thailand/Bangkok?  If so, he could have just gone there and applied for a new passport.

Ah OK... It would help if I read a bit more carefully, lol.

But still though... If he qualifies for the visa amnesty, then it's not finished until July 31, with a pretty good chance of it being extended. If he doesn't qualify, then his visa expired a long time ago. 

Sounds to me it's more a case of typical Thai sleuthing: now, a murder isn't good for the tourism industry, so let's see what else we can blame it on.

Sorry to witter on, but the Visa Amnesty only applied if you had a valid Visa when it started, otherwise your Overstay continued.

That's why I'm guessing he had a significant appointment at the Overstay desk when he tried to exit at the airport....doesn't say how long he'd been in country.

Right. Which is why I said "If he doesn't qualify, then his visa expired a long time ago". IIRC, your visa had to expire after March 26, to qualify for the amnesty. So if that is the case, then his visa expired months ago. So why kill himself now? Not to mention that Thai immigration is likely to be more lenient to overstayers now, considering the situation.

Tha overstay fine is capped at 20,000 baht, so I guess it depends on your definition of significant. For most people that would hardly be enough to kill themselves over. Maybe he just couldn't face going back home.
