David West - Help Urgent

[Thailand]

David's sister and wife in the UK have been informed of his death however with the British embassy and consulates closed until Tuesday they do not know what to do.

In addition Davids Thai friend Bua and a neighbour are trying to sort out the problems. Can anybody out there assist as I live in Chiangmai and Davids house is near Pattaya.

Please give Bua a call if you can help, she only speaks Thai. Please reply on this forum ASAP and I will give you the number by pm.

Thanks

I have a roaming mobile and you can get me on this if it will be quicker:

There were two prominent "David West"s that were oldtime expats in Chiang Mai. Would this be the David West whose brother Martin also past away a few years back? They ran the Domino bar near Thapae Gate for a few years which is now True Blue?
