The dog was found last night (June 9), just after 6pm, at the Chalong home of 56-year-old Aino Marianne Seppala of Sweden, after a neighbour reported a foul smell coming from Ms Seppala’s house. The neighbour had not seen her for many days.
The cause of death is not yet known. The Swedish Consulate has been informed.
Ms Seppala’s sister, who lives nearby, will take care of the faithful dog.
Chalong Police inspector Pol Lt Wutthiwat Liangboonjida told The Phuket News that Ms Seppala might have died from a disease, because there were a lot of pills in her house.
