A woman committed suicide by jumping into a pool of more than 100 crocodiles in front of a shocked crowd of tourists at a Samut Prakan zoo yesterday.

Police said Somjai Setbun, a 40-year-old Surin native, died after suffering serious injuries to her head and neck when one of the reptiles bit into her and dragged her into the water.

``It happened so quickly that there was no time for anyone to stop her,'' said Thanes Wiriyaporn, a tourist guide at Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo.

Mr Thanes told police Somjai's face had registered no emotion as she climbed over the crocodile pool's two-metre steel perimeter fence at about 11 am.

When the crocodile attacked and dragged her into the water, she wrapped her arms around it and did not resist, he said.

That's NUTS!!!! Could you imagine how much that would've hurt her? Nothing in life could be that bad that I'd want to jump into a crocodile tank and let them kill me.

Ohhh my mistake... the family is probably going to sue the United States for our disruptive culture that caused her undue stress when she thought her husband was flirting with other women.
