Above Top Secret Police are treating the death of the British managing director of Tata Motors as a suspected suicide.
Investigators in Thailand say there are no signs of foul play after Karl Slym, 51, fell from a hotel room window in Bangkok on Sunday.
Mr Slym was staying on the 22nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel with his wife after attending a board meeting in the Thai capital.
Managing Director of Tata Motors Commits “Suicide”
Now, call me a skeptic. BUT – a guy who was almost single handedly creating a cheap to run, cheap to make alternative to Detroit’s expensive cars and was apparently happy at home, a big success at work, and had no other indications of anything untoward going on just squeezes through a “Really tiny window, way too small to push him through” and commits suicide?
Tata motors were apparently about to become legal for sale in the USA within the next year or two, and would sell their cars for pennies on the dollar compared to the prices that western auto makers currently charge, and this guy was the main force behind this creation and the push for this company to take this direction.
Without him, the company was failing and struggling in an emerging market.
This “suicide” of a major figure in business has barely been covered in the Western media.
“Suicide”? REALLY?
No, obviously NOT a suicide if you ask me.
Throwing someone out of a window is a great way to kill someone, because unless there’s a witness, it’s almost impossible to determine if he jumped, or was pushed, but I don’t think that many people who are genuinely suicidal would go that route.
I think that blowing their own brains out with a shotgun, or eating a bottle of pills before a nap would be the most likely avenue of escape for someone in that mental state. Statistically by gender, women take the pills, and men use the shotgun, and some theorize that vanity is the reason for this. (the girls don’t want to leave an ugly corpse).
Jumping off a roof, or standing on the edge of one may be popular in the movies, but who would want to subject themselves to the terror of falling 50 stories just before they croaked? If they did in fact wish to end their own lives, I tend to think they would choose a quicker and easier method.
ALL “jumpers” are thereby suspicious deaths in my book.
Somebody call the CDC.
We have an epidemic on our hands.
