Yep that is where the cops send you, I was only to pleased when the OZ embassy 'EVENTUALLY' told me of the funeral directors ( after I was stressed out), it would have been a frigging nightmare for me, going there not once but twice. they dealt with all the necessary documents
It would have meant go to the police forensics,
get the death cert,
go to the embassy,
come back to KC, register his death with the Amphur,
go back, and arrange transport to bring his body back to KC
It would have taken days and quite an expense, for me ( for him actually as I had his ATM and pin number illigal maybe but ..), fuel, ferry, hotels.
I actually got some sort of stress rash that came out all over my body with puss filled spots.
