Malaysian octogenarian tourist dies at the hands of Thai massage lady

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Police were called to a hotel in Sadao just across the border from Malaysia after reports that a tourist had died during a massage. 

 

Pol Lt Thanatsak of the Sadao police found an 80 year old Malaysian man dead. He was face up in bed and clothed in a t-shirt and brown shorts. 

 

Staff at the hotel said that he had checked in and ordered a massage in his room. 

 

As soon as the masseuse got to work he went into shock and subsequently died. 

 

Police found no suspicious circumstances and put the death down to old age and pre-existing medical issues. 

 

However, an autopsy was ordered at Padang Besar Hospital to determine the exact cause of death. 

 

Relatives have been informed.

Not a happy ending for him, or was it ? ????

In related news the Ministry of Massage is mooting legislation that will require all Non O-A visa holders to prepay for massages...

Massage Therapist: Is the pressure okay?
Client: How will I know if it's not "okay"?
Massage Therapist: If you see dead relatives beckoning you toward a bright light, that would be one clue...

Gee, I learned a new word today, “octogenarian”—

"Gee, I learned a new word today, “octogenarian”—"

 

So did I, never heard it before, so looked it up. It's a person between the age of 80 and 89.

He was in Sadao????

"Police found no suspicious circumstances"

I find it a little suspicious as the man was Fully Clothed when he died during a massage ?

[Guitar God]

Sounds more like he was a sextuagenarian, getting a massage in his hotel room 

[JulesMad]

My heart goes out to the masseuse; she might loose some business as she massaged a guy to death....

Just a month ago or something a man in pattaya died from a massage as well.

My wife does it and trained for 3 years in Thai medicine at university but I get the feeling most just learn on the job.

Some of the Thai massage techniques play with arteries around the heart, stopping and starting blood flow. The dangers are way underestimated. Worse if you have been drinking.

I can't help the feeling that the headline was made deliberately sensational.

It is not the blood flow around the heart that is the problem.
