Maj Thada Sodarat from Chalong Police told The Phuket News today (Jan 29) that he is still waiting for the deceased’s family to confirm the identity of the body.
“Family members have not yet arrived to identify the body, but the Embassy has been notified.
“Workers will clean the yacht at Chalong Pier today now that we have taken all relevant evidence.
“We are now waiting for doctors to confirm the cause of death, and following that we will conclude our investigation if the man’s family do not want us to investigate further,” he added.
Maj Thada and his team last Saturday responded to a call to investigate the body of a foreign man found on the Waitane II moored off Nai Harn Beach. The body was only discovered after staff from a nearby hotel noticed that the boat had not moved for a week. (See story here)
