Six Vietnamese individuals were discovered dead inside a Bangkok hotel room on Tuesday evening, leading to a police investigation.

 

The tragic episode unfolded at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in the Pathum Wan district. Officers were alerted to the scene around 5.30 pm and quickly determined that the six victims, three men and three women, had no signs of a struggle.

 

Among the deceased were two Vietnamese-Americans and four Vietnamese nationals. Police found their luggage near the front door, an indication that the group had not just arrived but had settled in. Investigators are currently reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and questioning hotel staff and other witnesses to piece together the events leading up to this tragedy.

 

The initial assessment revealed no bruising on the bodies, leading authorities to suspect poisoning as the cause of death. While forensic examinations confirmed the poisoning, it remains unclear whether the act was self-inflicted or if the individuals were victims of foul play. The police have yet to find any poison containers or additional evidence that could provide immediate answers.

 

This incident has left many questions unanswered. According to preliminary media reports, there were erroneous claims about the victims being killed in a shootout, which were quickly debunked following the police's initial findings. As it stands, the focus remains on uncovering the nature of the poisoning and the events leading up to the victims' deaths.

 

The Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, typically a hive of bustling tourists and business travelers, has been thrust into the spotlight for unfortunate reasons. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue to sift through clues. The Vietnamese community in Bangkok and abroad are in shock, hoping for swift answers to what transpired in room 427.

 

Residents and travellers alike remain tense, awaiting further news. The police have assured a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind this puzzling tragedy, reported Bangkok Post.

All six in one room? No mention of whether it was a suite or apartment or adjoing rooms. Tragic ending.

Six Vietnamese nationals mysteriously died today at a luxury hotel in Bangkok after allegedly drinking tea and coffee mixed with poison. Police believe there may be a seventh Vietnamese but that individual has not been located.

 

The deaths of the six foreigners were reported to the Metropolitan Police Bureau at approximately 7.30pm today, July 16. They were reportedly found lifeless in the same room on the sixth floor of the luxury hotel near the Ratchaprasong intersection.


The name of the hotel has not yet been confirmed, but some news agencies reported that it was the five-star Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel.

 

According to a report on Brick Info TV, they were scheduled to check out today, and all of their belongings were packed up ready to leave.


Several Thai news agencies initially reported that all of the foreigners had died in a shooting. However, police later confirmed that there were no traces of fighting or struggling found at the scene.

 

The Commander of the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, Teeradate Thammasutee, arrived at the scene at about 8.30pm. Teeradate reported that all of the deceased were Vietnamese nationals, and two of them also held American citizenship.

 

They are identified as below:

 

Sherine Chong (56 years old)

 

Hung Dang Van (55 years old)

 

Thi Nguyen Phuong Lan (47 years old)

 

Hong Pham Thanh (49 years old)

 

Dinh Tran Phu (37 years old)

 

Thi Nguyen Phuong (46 years old)

 

According to Teeradate, police suspected that the victims were poisoned, as leftover tea and coffee were found at the scene. However, officers will transfer the bodies to the Police General Hospital for a thorough autopsy.

 

Regarding the motive for the murders, officers believe it might be related to a business or personal conflict among the deceased. Another possibility is that the deaths were a sacrifice to some cult.

 

The Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police, Torsak Sukvimol, arrived at the scene at about 8.30pm. According to Torsak, each Vietnamese individual arrived in Thailand at different times and entered the country on tourist visas.

 

The investigation into the cause and motive of their deaths continues.

 

More to follow.

Thai Enquirer mentions Cyanide 😂

All kind of poison would be physically easy to see. Poisoning is not a nice death that would seem unmarked in any way.

 

Carbon monoxide and dioxides leave no traces thow.

How could this be a possibility?

 

Did they not pack up their belongings, in anticipation of checking out?

 

Also, why are the investigators not wearing HAZMAT suits?

 

=========

But, of course...it's still possible, I guess.

Because...
Remember Heaven's Gate?

These guys, too, packed up all their stuff, in anticipation of traveling to, I recall, some comet, or asteroid, or something...

A few days before, I have read in the thai media that the police seized drug pills from myanmar which contained high levels of cyanide. But I can't find the link.

Bloomberg reported originally that all 6 are Americans of Vietnamese descent. 

"6 Vietnamese dead" certainly is a lot less damage to Thailand than  "6 Americans dead"

 

Bloomberg has now changed it to "4  Vietnamese and 2 Vietnamese with American citizenship" - no real Americans.

They may have been Boat People....

Are you sure that Fentanyl would leave a trace?

I am not sure.

 

2 milligrams is really quite a small dose.

 

Also, didn't all deceased die almost at exactly the same time?

Otherwise, at least one might have called for help.

 

Fentanyl acts immediately.

 

Also, if the poison was in the tea...or coffee....then..

Would they not have all have had to drink their beverages at the SAME TIME?

 

Also THIS:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/six-people-two-vietnamese-americans-found-dead-bangkok-hotel-rcna162144

 

So then:  Foaming at the mouth?

 

I am going with Fentanyl, or the similar but stronger version of Fentanyl, which is 20 times stronger than Fentanyl.  In that case, the lethal dose would be 0.1 milligram, per deceased
