A man committed suicide in a hospital in Bangkok on Monday shortly after talking to his former wife, a doctor who works at the hospital.
Police said the incident happened in the doctor's private room at the hospital in Lat Phrao district. The name of the hospital was not given.
Sutthiphas Thitipornanant, 46, went to the hospital, talked to his ex-wife in her room for about five minutes and handed her some documents, according to police.
The woman then left to visit patients in an adjacent ward, asking him to wait for her in the room. Shortly afterwards, a single gunshot was heard.
The man was found bleeding on the floor in the room, and was later pronounced dead.
Police said the couple had divorced a week ago after being married for one year.
