The body of a man, believed to be that of missing Thai-Japanese model, Kullapat “Kendo” Pongpraphap, was found this afternoon (Thursday) floating in the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok’s Ratchawong pier.

 

A rescue unit from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation and Pak Khlong San police rushed to the scene and pulled the body out of the water, placing it on a pier under the King Rama 1 Bridge for initial examination.

 

According to the police, a wallet containing about 1,000 baht in cash, an ID card issued by Siriraj hospital, credit and ATM cards, iPod earphones and a gold-framed Buddha amulet was found on the body.

was foul play involved  ....

He died at 27. That's the infamous number. Per Bkk post

 

Police and rescue volunteers also found a second body in the same area of the river. It was a woman aged 20 to 25 years. She had not been identified.

Police had not so far established any link between the two deaths, Pol Col Yokin said. However, she had also died about two days ago.

Not quite on the level of fame/talent as Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison though...

I suspect none of his fans ever heard those names, so to them he is more famous. Perhaps Amy?

From link to OP and for reference:_

 

A caretaker at the hostel, where Kendo was living before his disappearance, claimed she saw the model lying on a bench on the ground floor, looking unwell, on Monday.

She added that the next day, she knocked on the door of his room to check that he was OK, after she received a call from his family, but there was no response, so she unlocked the door and went in, only to find the room empty.
