Sattahip — Sattahip authorities recovered the body of a foreign national in Sattahip waters on December 16th, 2023. They are looking into the possibility that the recovered body may be connected to four persons reportedly lost far off Jomtien Beach earlier this week.

On Saturday, Sattahip police received a report from a tourist about a deceased person found floating near Koh Nang Ram, Samae San sub-district, Sattahip district, Chonburi province. The location of the incident was about 3 kilometers offshore, to the north.

 

The deceased was a bald male aged between 50-60 years old, with features resembling a foreigner. He was found wearing only blue shorts. No identification documents were discovered on him, and no signs of injury or foul play were detected during the initial examination. It is estimated that he had been deceased for 3-5 days, and decomposition had begun.

 

According to Sattahip police, the cause of death remains a mystery. The military navy and rescue units collaborated to retrieve the body onto a kayak before using a speedboat to pull him back to the shore.
