PATTAYA: Police suspect foul play in the death of a foreign man whose body was found tied to a concrete pile in the water off Koh Larn on Friday.

 

The man, who was between 170 and 175 centimetres tall, was believed to be a westerner based on body structure, police said.

He was wearing a Mares brand wetsuit and flippers and had around 1,500 baht in cash on his body. His throat had been cut.

 

The body was found off Samae beach on the popular tourist island. The backpack the man was wearing was tied to a concrete pile to which buoys are attached, Pattaya police said.

 

Pattaya police chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch said the cause of death could not be determined but it looked unnatural.

 

The Pattaya police station had not received a missing-person report, the superintendent said. Police are checking with tourist and immigration police in Chon Buri on possible missing persons reported to them.

 

Rescue workers sent the body for an autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Science at Police General Hospital in Bangkok.

From his photos, he had many years yet to worry about getting old.

 

 

"After six days of a joint investigation by officers from Muang Pattaya station, Chon Buri Province Police and tourist police, the officers believe the dead man is Frank Thomas who arrived in Thailand in 2013 on a tourist visa which he had continually renewed."

 

So he's continually renewed a tourist visa for the last 3 years. Uh-huh.

 

 

"Muang Pattaya police chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch said investigators were still working on two theories: murder and suicide committed by a special method."

 

That's what it was all right, by a special method.

So how does this fit in with the earlier reports that he was heard speaking Russian? :elf:
