The Thai wife of a Norwegian man who passed away suddenly after returning from having medical treatment at hospital has requested that the authorities carry out an autopsy on her husband?s body.

 

Pattaya police station received a call during the evening of September 22 from Mrs Saibua Thongta, age 37, who said she was at a room she shared with her Norwegian husband at Plathong Flat, near Pattaya Klang Road. She told the officer in charge that her husband had died and she did not know the cause of death.

 

Officers arriving at the scene found the body of Bjoern Jakobsen, age 46. He was lying on his back on the bed, wearing only red shorts. The dead man?s wife was crying and hugging the body. The room showed no signs of disturbance.

 

Saibua told police that she and her husband had been legally married in Norway more than six years ago. Her husband regularly came to visit her. He had arrived in Thailand on September 3 and was due to fly back on September 30.

 

She said she had taken her husband to the hospital as he was suffering from asthma. When they returned to their room her husband lay down and suddenly began to have muscle spasms. She called the hospital for help but it was too late.

 

Saibua asked the officers to arrange for a full autopsy, and the body has been sent to Banglamung Hospital.
