Received this email a while ago.. from a friend in Vietnam..
Dear friends,
I am writing to those of you (no more in Vietnam) who knows Dr Thanh Hai. Yesterday afternoon I recieved a sms from Dr Hai's sister that Dr Hai passed away. Tony and I and Susi went to pay our last respect at his father's house this morning. Dr Hai committed suicide by overdose of drugs. On Sunday, I have it in my heart to call Dr Hai to come to Michelle's birthday party but somehow many things came in my way and I did not managed to do so. Apparently that was the evening he decided to take his life.
He took his parents and kids to eat lunch and went for a game of tennis and then went home to his parents apartment upstairs their hospital building. He then took the medicine and went to sleep. His son wanted to call him for something but he could not wake up. They found the medicine bottle near him and rushed him to the hospital but could not rescue him. He probably was in coma by then. He is a doctor and he knows how to do it that no one can help him anymore. It is so sad indeed. He is such a good friend and a good doctor.
Also this month end is the time he has to go to court to sign his final divorce documents and he cannot take it I think . So decided to end his misery by taking his life to solve all problems. Tomorrow (25th) morning 6am is the funeral. Everyone was shocked to hear of this action he took. We lost our family doctor too. Cannot find someone like him again. The saddest thing is, Dr Hai has touched and saved many lifes I am sure, but no one could save his !!. Let's give him one minute of silence to remember him and his good works.
Regards, Irene..
