A French man found dead in Patong hotel room

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

Police estimate that he'd died there at least 3 or 4 days before he was found.

 

 

A 73 year old French man, Claude Cadeau, was found dead in a Patong Hotel yesterday (Saturday). Police estimate that he’d died there at least 3 or 4 days before he was found.

 

He was found at room number 49/91 on the 8th floor of a condominium in Patong.

 

Police contacted his girlfriend, 43 year old Udom Suebchat, who had been in relationship with him for 10 years though they weren’t married and did not have a child together.

Nothing wrong with this picture. She tried to contact him but couldn't. So after a few days she asked somebody to check up on him.

Seems to be a lot of tissue paper around, one toilet roll of paper, one large kitchen towel roll and then a box of facial tissues. Maybe he was just cleaning up? Lots of fluids on the floor.

Body is made up of mostly water.
Of course the fluid from the body will leak everywhere.

She probably went home. No one is from Patong Beach, no one!

And I hope for her that she is not left with nothing as often happens with these non-married girlfriends.

Went home as reported in the article.

And the French man (may he rest in peace) probably had no intentions to follow her for the 1200 km (750 miles) trip to Udon.

By bus it would be more than 20 hours.

 

I should mention that I can not reach the thethaiger,com website currently.

As the site is online again, I have to stand corrected.

Not travel to Udon but to Surin.

Flying as the article reads.

Not directly but probably via Don Mueang to Buriram.

After an investigation, police were told that they stayed together until April 9 before she flew to Surin province to visit her child during the Songkran break. She told police, since she arrived in Surin, she couldn’t contact him anymore until yesterday that she decided to contact the condo manager to check on him and found that he had died.

What we see here is part of Thailand life for expats.

What we see here is part of common life. No matter where you stay in the world.

 

We all will die. On the stairs to Valhalla you always will be alone so head up and chest out!

RIP Frenchman. And hope the Surin lady finds another farang senior citizen very soon.

That's all well & good, but there is a high probability I will be screaming and crying like a newborn baby, trust this will also be acceptable? (I'm of Irish decent unfortunately!)

RIP deceased....

which is why she contacted the manager to check on him.

But that doesnt fit with the mindset of the negative conspiracy theorists that flock when these tragic events occur.

There are.lots of elderly people found dead day after day all around the world and some have lain for several days.

My own father was found 2 days after he passed ( my sister and I were both overseas ).

It was ( at the beginning ) horrible to contemplate imagining he may have been in pain etc etc.

The police and our  gp were able to put our minds at rest.

He was found in bed and dued due to cardiac arrest. Very very common.

We didnt jump to insidious conclusions as seems to be popular in some quarters
