Iranian tourist chose to jump after preparing other suicide methods

Daily News reported that an Iranian tourist decided against poisoning himself and hanging, opting to jump to his death from a Din Daeng hotel.

Cops and Poh Teck Tung rescue services were called to the hotel in Intharamara Soi 45 on Sunday after security found 38 year old Hammad Ramju lying dead on a connecting structure on the first floor between the hotel’s two nine story blocks.

In his room on the eighth flood there was an unopened packet of rat poison on the dressing table.

A phone on the bed had lots of unanswered messages.

There was a picture of a Thai woman at the head of the bed.

A nylon cord was attached to an area by the window.

There were footprints on an air conditioning compressor.

There was no sign of a struggle in the room that was locked from the inside.

Maj-Gen Ekkachai Bunwisut of the Region 2 of the metropolitan police said that the dead man had acted alone and had clearly contemplated several methods to end his life before deciding to jump.

Hotel staff said that they had originally intended to give him a second floor room when he checked in on Saturday – but he insisted on a room on the eighth floor.
