snoop1130 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 36 year old American man found dead in Chiang Mai hostel A 36 year old American man has been found dead at a hostel in Chiang Mai. Police were called to the hostel in Chiang Phueak on Tuesday morning after staff reported that a foreign tourist had died. The man, identified as Mr Richard Justin, was sitting upright against his bed. Staff told police that the deceased had been staying at the hotel since February 13 and that a few days ago he had fainted and suffered seizure, which he received first aid for. Police said there were no signs of a struggle in the room and that they suspect underlying health problems may be the cause of death. The man’s body was sent to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital for autopsy. The American Consulate in Chiang Mai was also informed of the death.

He had an underlying illness, probably was taking medication for it... he previously has a seizure & had first aid at the time, he probably continued with his chosen lifestyle as many do with underlying health issues. He died in bed with a few good memories, not a bad way to go ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Babies, toddlers, teens, strong 20 yr olds, middle aged men, elderly women, obese men, ancient wise ones...all died today somewhere. Richard was not too young to die, but just the right age for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
