deadsox 894 Posted October 10, 2016 He's been pulling this stuff out at least three times this year. He'll recover and go back to the vegetable that he has always been. As a player who has thought he would go before, I have to say that this is the genuine article. He'll be gone within a month, probably sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,977 Posted October 10, 2016 Tough to tell with him but I do find it curious the palace reports him as unstable. Wasn't the case in the past that they always waited till he was on the mend (relatively speaking) to make an official announcement? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't the case in the past that they always waited till he was on the mend (relatively speaking) to make an official announcement? you're right. They are preparing the public for news of his death, probably within days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted October 11, 2016 Apart from the esteemed International Business Times, it seems to have gone quiet again. NYT reports several people had gathered outside the hospital. Probably a few Thais with excess stocks of incense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted October 12, 2016 This is finally it ! The prince of Thailand and heir appararent is visiting him now as fears grow for his health and stock markets plummet .Looks like a 'final goodbye'. The Prince would not be visiting unless they thought he was very close to death. Also the Thai PM has cancelled all official duties and rushed back to the hospital.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted October 12, 2016 There has just been the first official update on his health since sunday- and it's not looking good .He is still in an 'unstable' condition .His liver and kidneys are failing and he's on a ventilator. Also his blood pressure is dangerously low. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-37634077 Maybe someone with some medical knowledge can guess how long he can hold on in that condition ? Looks to me like it's medical jargon for saying he's dying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
