Man commits suicide in Bangkok pond

Fisherman Suchart Sukhiphan, 52, immediately called police and a rescue foundation, but it was too late to save the man, identified later as Thanaphat Kaewkor from Phechabun.
Suchart told police he’d seen the man wade into a shallow area of the pond at 4.30pm to retrieve a discarded fertiliser bag and cable. He filled the bags with rocks and tied it to his body with the cable, then walked into the deeper water and disappeared.
On retrieving the body, rescuers also found smaller rocks in his clothing.
Police said Thanaphat worked for a private freight-management firm at Suvarnahbhumi Airport.
