Japanese man found hanged to death in Ekkamai restaurant

A 37-year-old Japanese man was found dead inside an Ekkamai area restaurant Sunday, victim of apparent suicide.

A note was found on the body of Taro Okada, 37, who was found hanging by a cable on the premeses of Sasaou restaurant on Soi Ekkamai 4, blaming his anguish on a Thai woman who had taken his money. Police said there was no sign of struggle.

Okada’s father told police the younger man had been arguing with a woman who owned a Thonglor-area restaurant.

Although the police are calling it a likely suicide, Okada’s body will undergo autopsy, Bangkok Post reported.
