Londoner Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I don't blame Thailand; it didn't give him cancer. His insurance was from the US; that is what failed him when he needed it most. His last weeks of life were unbearably sad and painful. If (or when) I am seriously ill, I'd rather be here. Ruthrieston 1 Quote

But again, it was surely was your friend's responsibility - although that is never easy to admit. I do not know the limits of his medical insurance but surely one of the essential aspects of any insurance policy is that you insure yourself for lengthy treatment of some grim illnesses. Your friend's policy may have reached its limits in Thailand. Surely it would have done so much earlier had he been seeking treatment in many European countries. Quote
reader Posted November 26, 2023 Posted November 26, 2023 The Bangkok Post is reporting that he took his own life, citing a coroner’s report. A very sad conclusion to tho mystery of his death. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2673583/wild-boars-captain-took-his-own-life alvnv, vinapu and Ruthrieston 3 Quote

Unfortunately typical of any public service in the UK nowadays. Just look at National Health Service waiting lists, police response priorities, postal services. Took a letter 10 days to reach me today. Alas, UK is a third world place now. Incidentally, there was a tragic case of a headmistress who committed suicide in relation to an Ofsted report on her school. This was in January. The I quest opened yesterday, 10 months after the event. Quote
