American STEPHEN RUSSELL GOURLEY Commits Suicide by Jumping from Condo in Phnom Penh
Re: American Stephen Russell Gourley, 51, Tops Himself
He spent almost two months in the hospital in Bangkok. It must have been very serious. Here's what his church posted in October:thePeck wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:13 pm This is really sad, not the usual deaths that happen here to expats/tourists. Seems like he was very involved in the country and cared about the people here. My only thought is with a recent head/brain trauma it can really affect your mood, but he seemed very upbeat in his post.
RIP

Maybe "tops himself" isn't the best title.

Yes, I wish people would stop using this term as it is very disrespectful. People taking their own life is nothing to make light of. Ever.

The term is informal, not offensive.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:47 pmYes, I wish people would stop using this term as it is very disrespectful.

maybe the conspiracy mentioned earlier wasnt finished with the moto accident. so soon after getting out of hospital.
the insurance company was very very generous covering 49 days in a bkk hospital.

I think it's contradictory for this site to go through all the trouble it does to hide links and photos in case family members see a death thread, but then use a flippant term like "tops himself" right in the fucking title.

If his balance was affected and he was easily confused could it have been a tragic accident? Pure speculation, but maybe easier for friends and family to swallow than suicide. RIP, very sad indeed.
