A Swiss national was saved from an apparent suicide attempt when he was discovered with two open gas cylinders in his car in South Pattaya.
Hans Rudolf Mueller, 60, was pulled from the driver’s seat of his silver Chevrolet Captiva Oct. 13 in the Tesco-Lotus supermarket parking lot.
Salicha Donratvorawong, a friend of the family, said Mueller left his Siam Country Club home the night before. He followed the Swiss man by motorbike, concerned as he’d been depressed and was known to have a heart problem.
With the help of security guards, Salicha broke a window in the Chevy to help pull him out. When they opened the doors, rescuers found two 15 kg. gas cylinders with the valves opened.
He was treated and released from Banglamung Hospital.
