…Sitthichai persisted in detailing the euthanasia device, prefaced with an observation: “There are a hundred small ways to finally exit your life.” Sitthichai calculated that the best way to do the job was a simple machine that pumps carbon monoxide into a room. “I’m sure you’d be dead in a half an hour,” he said.<\/p>\n

“When he goes walking, he says he always carries a small gun with him.”<\/p>\n
