23yo Aussie found dead in Thailand
A young Australian man has been found dead in a Thai hotel room reportedly one day before he was set to return home. According to local outlet 'Phuket News', police found the 23-year-old man in his hotel bed in Tambon Thepkrasatths wearing a black T-shirt and still holding his mobile phone. Phuket News reported there were no signs of a disturbance, no evidence of a break-in, and no visible injuries indicating foul play, although police did observe that his elbow and wrist had been bandaged. Friends told authorities these injuries were the result of a recent motorbike accident. An investigation officer with the local station received a call at around 10am from a nurse at Thalang Hospital, reporting the death of the 23-year-old. Officers later identified the man and confirmed that he had checked into the hotel on Sunday July 20 and was scheduled to check out on July 24. Police said the Australian Consulate in Phuket had been notified and a forensic doctor attended to examine the scene. The man's body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death. Police said they were continuing their investigation. The Phuket News is withholding the man's name pending confirmation that his next of kin have been notified. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said they were unable to comment until those further details were released.
