A tragic update now on the story we featured on 25th August relating to the death of a 4 year old American boy at View Talay 2 Condominium in Jomtien. The body of the boy’s father, Mr. Brett James Wolfe aged 40, was discovered on Saturday Afternoon in a 5th floor room at the Jomtien Plaza Condotel. A member of staff who needed payment for the room from Mr. Wolfe found the body after repeated knocks to the front door remained unanswered and she therefore used a spare key to enter. Mr. Wolfe was fully clothed and lying on the bed. A glass containing a selection of white and purple sleeping pills was next to the body and an 11 page suicide note was left next to the bed which clearly showed that the pain of losing his son in such a tragic way was too much for Mr. Wolfe to cope with. The suicide note revealed his love for his Son and how sorry he was that he left him on the balcony of his View Talay 2 apartment for a matter of minutes, during which time the boy fell to his death off a chair placed at the edge of the balcony. Police Lieutenant Colonel Anuchert from Dongtan Police Sub-Station, who was the officer assigned to the boy’s death only days ago, inspected the scene of the apparent suicide and confirmed that nothing suspicious was found to suggest third-party involvement in the death. Mr. Wolfe’s body was taken to the Police Forensic Institute in Bangkok for a post mortem examination and the American Embassy in Bangkok have been informed and are currently attempting to locate the former wife of Mr. Wolfe and mother of the boy Ms. Relaiza Galope Labadan who resides in The Philippines so she can be made aware of the double-tragedy.

Damn, what a sad story. RIP

Tragic story.

How anyone can live with losing a child let alone feel responsible for it is beyond me.

The poor guy must have tortured himself over it and words cannot describe the pain he must have been going through.

RIP

Yes Solice,you echo my feelings also.Maybe I would have done the same thing he did,the guilt he felt for the death of his son,and the pain he felt for his loss must have been overwhelming-what an absolute tradgedy.
RIP both of them.

Such a sad shocking story that.

Can't imagine any family member ever getting over it...
As other members have said I hope the family can heal in time.

This is a horribly tragic tale. There were numerous stories on this that I read on the Pattaya Daily News site. It was really heart-breaking to read the comments of the people who knew the father and son. The comments from the guy's brothers were particularly heart-wrenching. As someone who has also lost a child, this story really affected me and I admit that it caused me to shed a few tears.
