The victim was found in bed inside a mosquito net. Next to the body a phone was plugged in and charging.

 

Police have yet to settle on a cause of death suggesting that passing out in the hot weather as well as electrocution or even murder are all on the table.

 

Investigations continue.

Maybe the place to be seen?

48 year old ladyboy ? Thought has put me right off my evening meal.

So someone's found dead, a phone is charging nearby so therefore it's likely that, thai logic again

Was he/she face down laying in an extended position due to rigor mortis....

Going by the photos in the full story, his place looks a complete hovel where any number of dieses, bacteria, germs could live.
