A 30-year-old Saudi man drowned while swimming at Karon Beach in Phuket, and his body was later found washed ashore. Authorities are working with the Saudi Arabian Embassy to locate his relatives for body identification and to complete legal procedures.

 

On September 1, Deputy Inspector (Investigation) R.T.O. ML. Sanya Suksawat of Karon Police Station received a report about a body found on Karon Beach, Karon Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phuket.

 

He promptly arrived at the scene with Pol. Col. Khun Det Na Nong Khai, Superintendent of Karon Police Station, along with the investigation team, rescue workers from Karon Municipality, and officers from the Phuket Ruam Jai Rescue Foundation.

They identified the deceased as Mr. Alharbi Bader Naqi M., a 30-year-old Saudi Arabian national. The body, found in light green shorts, was believed to have been swept away by waves while swimming near the Naga statue.

 

Initial medical examinations revealed no signs of assault. The body was taken to Chira Phuket Hospital for identification and an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

 

Officials are coordinating with the Saudi Arabian Embassy to contact the man's relatives and proceed with necessary legal procedures. It has been reported that he was scheduled to return on September 2, 2024, but unfortunately passed away before his departure.
