A man’s body has been discovered in a deserted building in Kathu district, Phuket, with authorities estimating he had been dead for approximately seven days. The deceased had a distinctive tattoo of the Hindu deity Hanuman on his back.

 

At around 17:40 on 21 April, Pol. Lt. Chaiwat Makkaew, deputy investigator at Kathu Police Station, received a report of a body found inside the abandoned “William Plaza” building, located in Moo 1, Kathu subdistrict.

 

Upon arrival at the scene, investigators were joined by forensic officers from Vachira Phuket Hospital and personnel from the Kusoldharm Foundation. They found the body of a Thai male, believed to be around 40 years old. No identification documents were found on the body, and there were no signs of physical assault or struggle in the surrounding area.

 

Local residents informed police that the man was likely a homeless individual suffering from mental health issues. He had reportedly been squatting in the building for around two months prior to his death.

 

The body has been taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a full autopsy as part of the ongoing investigation and to try to identify the individual.

 

Authorities have asked anyone with information about the man’s identity to come forward.
