Thailand woman dead after jumping into crocodile pit
This picture taken on 15 September 2014 shows crocodiles in and outside a pond at the farm where a woman killed herself in Samut Prakarn, outside Bangkok. Ms Wanpen jumped off a walkway at Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo.
The crocodiles ate the woman and then looked around for seconds.
Police said they were told by family members that Ms Wanpen appeared depressed prior to her death.
Thai tourist attractions are said to often have lax safety rules.
Thai police confirmed Ms Wanpen's death on Tuesday afternoon.
According to reports, she took off her shoes before jumping into the middle of a pond said to be up to 3m deep that contained hundreds of adult crocodiles.
Staff tried to use long sticks to stop the crocodiles from attacking her, according to the Bangkok Post.
Earlier that day, Ms Wanpen's family had tried to file a missing persons report after they discovered her disappearance, but they were reportedly told to wait for 24 hours.
Her death mirrored that of a woman who killed herself in 2002 the same way at the same farm, and another suicide reportedly took place a decade before that.
Crocodiles sit in and on the edge of water at the Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo on the outskirts of Bangkok on 12 October 2008. The farm claims it has more than 100,000 crocodiles housed in its ponds. Some of them may be seen in the attached photos.
Farm owner Uthen Youngprapakorn told a local radio station that the farm had already installed additional fences and other security measures along the walkways.
The farm claims on its website that it has more than 100,000 crocodiles.
Pictures of the farm show wooden pagodas on stilts, connected by walkways that have chest-high railings, situated over large ponds.

2nd Amendment Remedy!
When the Founding Fathers sat down to write the Second Amendment, what they had in mind were situations like the following.
You're a man (the Constitution is for men, because the laydeez should be at home making sammiches and looking purty).
After a hard day at the office, you put on a tuxedo, head for the city's red-light district and hire a lady entrepreneur to perform oral sex on you...because the invisible hand (or mouth) of the market rules!
But your well-earned, free-market, all-American relaxation is interrupted by a pair of liberal busybodies. Now, in some other God-forsaken country, your choices of action would be circumscribed. But this is America, goddamn it!
So you do what any reasonable, red-blooded non-socialist American man who has a blow-job interrupted does: you pull out your 9mm and blast away.
2nd Amendment remedy, bitches!
That's what the Founding Fathers were talking about!
