Sr Sgt-Major Phissanu Nilthap, 40, left no suicide note and had not complained about his work or life.

His wife said Phissanu had asked for a sleeping pill at around 3am, before shooting himself in the right temple with his government-issue pistol at 5am.

His station chief said Phissanu had experienced chronic stress and had been taking medication for many years.

He said Phissanu had been well-liked by colleagues and had not been acting abnormally before he killed himself.
