BuffHello Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dead man was probably robbed of his valuables, say police Boonlua Chatree Police officers went to the Nit Guest House on September 27 following a report that a man had died in a room there. At the scene officers found the body of Andrew Ratcliffe, a 57-year-old British citizen. They estimate he had been dead for two days. Beside the body there was an open bottle of whisky. There were no signs of a struggle or fighting. Police assumed that he had died from natural causes and that nobody was aware of his death. As a result of their investigations however they concluded that the dead man probably had around 70,000 baht in cash, two mobile phones and a 5 baht gold bracelet, but there were no signs of any of these items in the room. Police stated that in such cases once a body is found, entry to the area should be prevented to stop people from taking the deceased person?s valuables.

rickfarang Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 A lingering question is whether the police went on to investigate the disappearance of the money and valuables. One also hopes there will be an autopsy to determine the cause of death - it could have been poisoning for the purpose of theft. Will the police follow up?
