CHIANG MAI :Briton, 35, jumps to his death
A British tourist committed suicide yesterday morning by jumping from his room on the sixth floor of a condominium in this northern city and falling to his death on the roof of an adjacent building, police said.
The naked victim, identified as Mark Anthony, age 35, leaped from his apartment room, breaking his neck and wrists in the fall.
Police said he had lived in the central Chiang Mai condominium for more than six months.
They also said he had undergone a medical check-up at a provincial hospital two days earlier and had been stressed after returning to his room, apparently after learning that he was suffering from a chronic disease

I always find these stories extemely sad. I must admit to various times in my life contemplating topping myself..others have even offered to assist..one tried once..but jumping. I can't imagine anything worse. A bottle of whiskey and handful of pills readily available in Thailand must be so much more pleasant ! :geek:
