Rawai Police attended the scene to find the body of the 55-year-old man (name withheld until his family have been informed) lying on his back on the floor. Police have stated that there were no signs of foul play or assault on the body.
The victim’s partner told police that she returned home at 11:30pm and found the man resting his head on the TV stand. However, he did not respond when she tried to talk to him.
Pol Capt Wuttiwat Leangboonjinda said, “The deceased’s partner said that after discovering the man unconscious in the living room she called her neighbours for help. They tried to save the man but it was too late.
“She also told us that the man didn’t suffer from any illnesses, but he did drink alcohol and occasionally smoked cigarettes. He had recently been fighting a cold she said.”
The man’s body has been taken to Vachira Hospital.
