English man found dead inside his Niran Grand Condo Apartment.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Tanagrit from Pattaya Police Station was called to room number 521/494 at the Niran Grand Condo in Soi Arunothai, Central Pattaya early on Wednesday Morning to investigate a foreign fatality. Inside the bathroom of the apartment, the body of Mr. Scott Martin Hibberd aged 49 from England was found by a security guard and a friend of the deceased. The alarm was raised when Mr. Hibberd failed to answer telephone calls. His friend, Mr. Leslie Hall, became concerned further when he failed to answer the door on Wednesday Morning. A security Guard at the complex gained entry to the room when the body of Mr. Hibberd was discovered. Police were told that Mr. Hibberd was an active man who would often be seen at the communal swimming pool. It is thought he died of natural causes; however there was no indication in the room that the man was suffering from any illness. For this reason, the case will remain open until the results of a post mortem examination are known. The British Embassy in Bangkok are aware of the case.

English or Irish? Northern Ireland perhaps?

I wonder - the name sounds more English than Irish though.

Meaning if I saw that name without an nationality I would assume English (or even Scottish).

No blood, corpse or faeces? Pattaya City News is going down the drain.
