The police are trying to identify a foreign man's body that was found floating in the water at the southern end of Patong Beach earlier today.

 

A guest staying at a hotel on Muen Ngern Road saw the body and informed the authorities at around 9:10 this morning, the 10th of October. A police team, along with members of the Kusoldharm Foundation, quickly responded to the call. They located the man's body in the water, dressed only in shorts, face down. Following the recovery of the body by rescue workers, it was sent to Patong Hospital for an autopsy.

Early indications suggest that the first people to detect the body were hotel staff members. They saw it near the shore, leading to an urgent call to emergency services. Police are now focusing on identifying the man and are looking at any recent missing person reports in the area that might aid their investigation. Information regarding the man's nationality or what led to his death hasn't yet been provided by the police.

 

As the investigation continues, the detectives are committed to finding out the truth. Anyone with any useful information is urged by police to step forward.

Sad to hear. Let's hope it is not another murder of foreigners. Most likely drowning with the currents pulling him out to sea though
