How did you get involved with the police? How long did you serve? Why didn't  you pay? It sounds a fascinating  story and it has obviously  coloured your view of the police here.

Best to drop that line of interrogation.

two extremely wealthy Thais of Indonesian heritage were found drowned in a luxury hotel pool.

 

Police have initially determined it was a tragic accident.

 

One, maybe.

 

Two people drowned in a hotel poor?   Impossible.  OK, let me go read more....

Of course they did, anything else would mean the lazy sods would have to do some work.

Just conduct an autopsy and it will show cause of death.

Could they even swim?

I posted earlier that the water in the op photo is about 2m deep.

The pool tiles are 10x10cm and I count 20 rows.

How does it matter?  And, bearing in mind your "phone calls" claim, don't suggest "accuracy"!

If he contacted medical team of Koh Tao Hospital from hotel (as reported by Daily News) one would expect likely using a phone - but agree it was not so reported and likely the hotel that did it - reporting is not that accurate - was my point.

It's interesting how many people here jump to conclusions.

Do you have any information other than your wild fantasy to support your ideas?

If not then I suggest stay quiet and don't speculate why people you didn't know died? 

First, if this actually HAPPENED.....there would be ZERO posts on TVForums.......It's a forum.   Forum.     Chat, talk, blah, blah......Forum.

 

So I suggest you not speculate on why others are speculating because then you are the true speculator!!!!!   hahahahahahahha

I have talked  to my friends who stay there often and they  just laugh  at the  stupid death island nonsense

Tell that to the parents of the two young adults who were raped and murdered by the mafia in 2014.

The murders were awful but the other 99.9% of tourists who had no issues at all during normal times would disagree.

you are lucky enough to be staying legally in Thailand. Police we have come in contact have been extremely helpful and dedicated in their jobs and responsibility. Perhaps, the police in your home country have sowed doubts into you long before you came here.

Youre right.  The group of cops caught red handed  recently who were involved in the Taiwanese kidnap and extortion case were just being helpful,  the cop who shot that nasty noodle vendor would, I am sure, argue the same.  And what about the ones helping those poor pretties cross the border illegally during a pandemoc lockdown....absolute heros.  Others helped Yingluck escape arrest by ferrying her into Cambodia purely out of the goodness of their hearts.  Should I go on or are you already hiding under your bed?

 

I would suggest you try reading the news instead of just making baseless comments about it.

He thought it was most likely that one of the pair had got into trouble in the pool while the other went into help and was unable to do so with the result that both subsequently drowned. 

 

Was this guy trained in Scotland Yard? Huh? It is very difficult for adults to drown in a relatively small pool. It is very easy to make it to the shallow end of the pool, sink to the bottom, and walk along the bottom, swim underwater to the shallow end, or just grab onto the side of the pool. There is about a 1 in 48,000 chance this was a drowning. The fact that this happened on Dark Tao increases that number to about 1 in 248,000. The fact that it happened to both of them, increases the numbers to about 1 in 1,250,000. 

 

Never believer the Tao police. Ever. Their reputations are tarnished beyond repair, as it is obvious they have let the serial killer Namsod ply his trade there for years. It is also obvious that certain Tao families are way above the law.

 

Something does not pass the smell test here. And when that happens, there is much more than meets the eye. Especially the eyes of a "Dark Tao detective", as oxymoronic as that term sounds.

what!...how can they speculate...they need a post mortem before they jump to any conclusions..the initial post mortem takes a few hours but blood analysis can take up to six weeks for a full toxicology profile...give them a break.

And a murder trial can take years to put the blame on innocent parties after paying off their families, its happened before.

How on earth would you expect their Son,  wearing designers trousers, to jump in and rescue his parents  rather than inherit a fortune? It would ruin his trousers, come on be sensible please.

Apologies it's time for my medication, back after recovery ???? 

[sead]

So he saw them in the pool and went to call for help and then call hospital. He didn't dive in to take them out? 

 

[Chosenfew]

Seems to me that a 5 star resort would have CCTV coverage of the pool area and staff working nearby…

Governments should issue a warning to keep away from the place

Drowning in a pool is possible...but two people at the same time...it's not one jumped into rough ocean surf to save someone who was drowning and drowned themselves. I would check who stands to benefit most and the key may be the last past. 

Drowning in a pool is most certainly possible and apparently this one was around 2 meters so it's feasible. But you question whether 2 people can drown. That is also feasible.

 

If one party got into difficulties and the other attempted to help them, it can be a double tragedy waiting to happen. A trained rescuer is taught to be very wary of the victim panicking and grabbing hold of the rescuer. This can result in both parties struggling to survive.

 

Trained rescuers learn to keep clear of the victim, even by pushing or kicking them away if necessary and endeavor to restrain the victim from behind. An untrained rescuer would not be aware of the dangers.

 

I can easily visualize how this tragedy occurred and yes, I have taken both Royal Life Saving Institute training and the PADI rescue diver courses.
