    His nose was too big and it was stopping the noose from slipping over?

    right... he chopped off his own head. tell me how do you do that?

    or even better he jumped off the bridge and the severed body fell off, leaving the head somehow tied to the rope.

    i believe that the weight of his body caused the 'decapitation' of his head as well as part of his spine/torso from the rest of his torso/body (apparently this happened the chemical ali in iraq) so you can assume this guy was a heavy/obese person, hence why his head didn't slip through the ropes.

    hanging is a fine art. rope too long = decapitation. too short - the neck doesn't break and the victim asphyxiates. criminals used to be hung naked for the 'entertainment' value in ye olden times because men get erections and if the hangman got it just right women suffer a prolapsed uterus. the body also 'dances' post mortem with the last neurons firing. Entirely GROSS!

    assuming one did jump off a bridge only to kill himself- the first report states that the head looks like it was severed with a sharp object. if that were the case then how can it be that he killed himself??

    what i suspect (yes call me a conspiracy theorist)- it's well known in SEA countries that money/corruption run rampant. the guy probably got pissed off at a local, threatened him or something. then the local turns out to be some relation to the royals, and once the investigation got underway, it quickly turned into a coverup....

    from the OP's quote:
    "The specialist from Siriraj said the head was probably severed with a sharp object, and belonged to a Western man in his 40s.
    "

    I am not sure who you were reading about, but it wasn't "Chemical Ali".... he has just been sentenced to death (for the third time).....

    Al Jazeera English - Middle East - 'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death
