Karon Police duty officer Pol Sub Lt Nipoon Themsun told The Phuket News that Mr Teubner, 57, was found dead at around 5am this morning by his wife.
“Mr Teubner had high blood pressure, and wife says he was a heavy drinker. Last night he went out drinking, but when his wife returned home she found he was dead on the bed.”
When police visited, they did not find any evidence implying an attack or fight had occurred, Lt Nipoon said.
His body has been taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for autopsy.
