Frenchman Dies At His Home

On the 27th of May at 8.45pm Pattaya Police were informed that a foreign national had died at his house at Rungland Village, South Pattaya.

Police attended the scene with the Sawang Boriboon rescue squad to find the body of Mr. Raphal Jean Rousselet, of French nationality, aged 56, laying on a sofa.

After checking the body no sign of a struggle was found. Police assumed the cause of death may be from natural causes because there was medication found near his body. It also may have occurred from over drinking because 2 bottles of whiskey and cigarettes were found on the bedside table.

Mrs. Weena Charlee, the wife of the deceased, told Police that her husband was drinking and smoking too much every day, this caused cancer of his throat. Even though the doctors from Bangkok Pattaya Hospital warned him about this, he did not listen and carried on drinking and smoking.

Before he died, he had difficulty in breathing and his wife quickly ran out the house to shout for help, after that she called Police and the Sawang Boriboon.

The body has been sent for autopsy to ascertain the true cause of death.
