Phuket Riddle: Aussie Found Dead in Wrong Bed

Today's Breaking News

POLICE are investigating the mysterious death of a holidaymaking Australian tourist who was staying at a classy hotel on Phuket, but who died in a bed in a guesthouse in Patong.

 

Security camera footage shows the man, aged about 45 and apparently the worse for wear after a drinking session, being helped into the guesthouse room.

 

 

A tuk-tuk driver and a security guard were seen assisting the man to the room.

 

Two Thai women were with the man when he entered the room, in the early hours of Thursday.

 

The man's body was found at 2pm yesterday, lying flat on his back on a bed, wearing a pair of white boxers. He was still wearing his watch.

 

His wife went to Patong's Kathu Police Station just an hour later, to say that her husband was missing. The couple had been staying at a four-and-a-half star resort in another part of Patong, and she became alarmed when he failed to return.

 

Police were able to show her a photo of the dead man and she identified her husband.

 

Patong Police Chief Colonel Grissak Songmoonnark provided Phuketwan with details of the case today.

 

''His wife understands the circumstances under which her husband died and does not think anything criminal happened,'' the colonel said.

 

A doctor from Patong Hospital examined the body and said he believed the man died of a sudden heart attack.

 

Nevertheless, police are awaiting the results of blood tests. They also remain keen to interview the two women who entered the room with the man.

 

Australian officials recently reported there had been 105 deaths of Australians in Thailand in the year ending June 30, twice as many as in the US and Indonesia, which both have more visitors.
