Police were questioning his Thai wife, who said she found him dead after taking a young relative to school, reports the Bangkok Post.

The couple lived in a single-storey detached house in Moo 9 village of tambon Bang Saray.

Local police were informed of the death about 8:30am. They found the dead man lying on a bed, wearing only a pair of underpants.

His neck was cut through, severing the windpipe. A kitchen knife was lying on his chest. His 49-year-old Thai wife was sitting in the room, crying.

She said they had lived together for about five years but had not registered their marriage.

Her husband had returned to Finland and stayed there for about two years. He arrived back in Thailand about nine months ago and bought the house.

On Tuesday the man woke up at about 6am. She prepared a meal and coffee for him and left to take her young relative to school.

When she returned home, the house was quiet. She then saw blood in the room and found her husband’s dead body, his throat cut and a knife on his chest.

She said the man had taked about committing suicide several times, because of domestic problems in Finland.

The man’s body was taken to Police General Hospital in Bangkok for autopsy.

Police were questioning the woman further about the man’s death. Neighbours told police the couple often argued.

Ghastly way to go.  RIP. Not enough info to comment otherwise but to say  I found St John's Wort, aka Hyperiforte helped a lot with bad thoughts, been on it for 35 years.

just wait for it folks ..... he will be the first person in the world to have achieved a complete saw-through of one's own windpipe .....

Proper forensics may have turned up some issues - like the direction of cut and if he was left or right handed?  And how did he carefully place the knife on his chest after a hard sideways slash? Perhaps PK could focus his massive intellect on the puzzle?

If forensics were there around 9.30 am it was easy to conclude the time window of murder. Also the stomach will show or he indeed got breakfast, and was not killed at, 4, 5 am. Indeed are they here fast in talking about suicide when it comes to a foreigner. Easy way to  process/finish paperwork, and keep Thai suspects out of the wind. Coffin on the plane, case closed.

Ah the Phuket News psychologists are all over this one. With their amateur CSI experts they'll have this solved in minutes!

The same happened in Rawai some few years ago, whit one Swedish man. And off course the police say he killed him self. Have some pictures of this Swedish man, and he have 4 cuts over the throat +he hit himself whit a sledgehammer.

Marriage not registered? So, they were not official married. The man bought 7 months ago a nice house, perhaps on name of his ladyfriend, or made a testimony/last will to leave her the house after his death. ..And now it was the time for that. Understand? Now to find out who did it. May he rest in peace.

Her story is BS. Cutting your own throat with a kitchen knife is not how somebody supposedly depressed would try to end their life.
