snoop1130 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 A 34-year-old British man, Dax Baker, was found dead in puzzling circumstances in a public park in Chiang Mai's city centre, a northern province of Thailand. An empty foil package, typically linked to drug use, was found near his body. The local police were notified about the death at around 12.20 pm on June 9. Baker was found lifeless next to a fountain in a park close to the Somphet Fresh Market. Investigators found no signs of injury or physical attack on his body. Baker was living in a nearby condominium. Noting the empty foil package close to Baker's body, authorities are considering the possibility of drug use. The packet is now under further investigation. Baker's body is currently at Maharat Chiang Mai Hospital for an autopsy. It is suspected that Baker may have died from a drug overdose at the park, but this claim is still unverified until the autopsy results are available.

pomchop Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 So are they not supposed to do a further investigation re the "possiblity" of drug use??? Patience is part of any decent investigation. Noting the empty foil package close to Baker's body, authorities are considering the possibility of drug use. The packet is now under further investigation. It is suspected that Baker may have died from a drug overdose at the park, but this claim is still unverified until the autopsy results are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They assume a lot of things before proper investigation TIT Sure it can be, and they will probably look for fingerprints on that one. However, it does not seem strange at all to me, that they are looking around close to him and add items that they find. After that, they say they assume, which is not definite. Seems to me, they are doing what they can to find out. It also seems to me, that it´s a sensible assumption that might be very right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Most likely a heart attack. Post portem should reveal whether or not drug induced. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentEcho Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Dax was an amazing and caring young man. His loss is a palpable and painful one to the many people who loved him. Thank you to those above avoiding speculation. It's easy to speculate when someone is simply a name on a page. Dax Baker was, quite simply, one of the best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well fellow posters, when the autopsy comes out, if one of you get the results, can you let the rest of us know? Thanks in advance for your great knowledge so far. If this guy was ODed on some drug, oh well, his choice. Thats all i have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with the overdose as more likely. Might be of mistake, or for commit suicide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
