to repatriate his body after his suspicious death in Thailand.

This makes no sense to me, If he died in suspicious circumstances, then surely an Autopsy would need to be carried out, thereby the cause of death would be known, drugs, alcohol, accident, there is something his family are keeping from us. IMO.

Too many foreign visitors die untimely, "mysterious" deaths in Ko Tao and none of the cases are ever solved.

"None are ever solved"?  Really?

Name one, specifically, that was left unexplained by the investigating authorities, not by AN posters.

While there are unsolved deaths of tourists all over Thailand, Koh Tao definitely has its fair share.

Unsolved?  Such as? 

Perhaps you mean not solved in accordance with AN posters preferred versions of events.

Really what a comment, if they have set up a go-fund-me page then IMO the cause of death should be known.

If any family member of mine died on that island I'd want an intact body returned home for a proper autopsy not just one that says 'heart stopped'.

"...not just one that says 'heart stopped'".

And when has that ever been reported?

It would appear that a certain expert on the many deaths on kho Tao needs to do a little bit of research on the higher than normal unexplained or conveniently solved deaths in this place.

A good one to start with would be the 2 English backpackers and the 2 Burmese guys fitted up for their deaths, followed by the numerous others that haven't really rated as being too important (to some).

Only two full days have passed since he died, how quickly do you think a postmortem can be arranged, performed and a cause of death established?

You mean the Australian who claims to be an expert but never even set foot on the island?

The twist is the family are upstanding people prepared to pay the repatriation expenses rather than bludge off the public.

 

Hahahahahaha, only joking.

 

With that sort of cash, they can repatriate their lad's body AND pay the cops to find out what happened.

 

It will probably not be what happened mind you.

Thai law says any death of a foreigner must be investigated and an autopsy carried out, not necessarily just the 'suspicious' ones. Recalling previous events and 'mysteries', the autopsy will be done at some police hospital down Surat Thani way. There's nothing to stop a second autopsy being carried out on the repatriation of the lad's body. I recall that this is also the case in the UK where a Coroner's inquest is performed. Unfortunately, the findings are diminished by the time elapsed since the death and there may also be difficulties getting the original autopsy report.

News Summary:
Australian teen died on Koh Tao, we won't tell you how.

Family needs money for repatriation.

...

yes, it's pretty obvious that a big part all of the story is missing, I wonder why Thai authorities don't say anything more, or why the "Thaiger" wasn't able to slip a thousand or a couple to a police officer or an emergency worker to get the story.

I think i'm right in saying that a second autopsy can be carried out as a matter of urgency on request in Thailand at a selected hospital of your choice providing you pay the costs.

Now if you had any doubt regarding the accuracy of the first autopsy surely one would want a second opinion.

 

Just sayin like......

Not according to the British Embassy's reply. read that and my comment to them. They say if died in hospital from illness not required, but you try telling that to your local cops they told me it's the law but it isn't, up to them if they say must go for autopsy, there is nothing that you can do or say that will change their mind.

That damned Koh Tao island yet again!

 

Embassies need to be acting on this, far too many unexplained and suspicious deaths in that bloody place.

Insurance companies also need to specify cover invalidated while there. 

Although it probably already falls into the 'high risk' small print.

RIP, very saddening. 

 

Koh Tao in the spotlight again. Whatever the truth may be, there's definitely something sinister about the place.
