ChiangMaiMail Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Japanese woman found dead in a guest house near Night Bazaar Supoj Thiamyoj A 76 year old Japanese resident of Chiang Mai was found dead in her bathtub by the housekeeper at the guesthouse where she resided in Changklan road on December 16 at 9:30 a.m. Chiang Mai Police investigate the room of Takako Kanomi, a Japanese national who was found dead in her guesthouse room on December 16. The housekeeper told police that she had knocked on the door of Takako Kanomi 76, in order to clean the room. When she received no response, she unlocked the door with a master key. The police, after being called by the housekeeper, sent the body to Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital for an autopsy to determine cause of death. The manager of the guesthouse told police that Ms Takako Kanomi had lived in Chiang Mai for many years and that he believed she might be alcoholic. Police have contacted the woman’s family for funeral arrangements. http://www.chiangmai-mail.com/current/news.shtml#hd16 -- Chiang Mai Mail 2009/12/22 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Edited December 22, 2009 by ChiangMaiMail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rrose Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's a sad day when the world loses someone as vital, accomplished and wise as Mrs. Kanomi, but to have her misrepresented in print as has been done by the Chiang Mai Mail is more than sad- it's reprehensible. Mrs. Kanomi was a frequent visitor to Chiang Mai for more than thirty years, a long-standing favorite of Thailand's Royal Family, an accomplished musician, and author of an early, definitive study of the hilltribes with her book Peoples of Myth: Textiles and Crafts of the Golden Triangle. She deserves to be remembered with reverence and respect, not idle, uninformed and incorrect speculation. Shame on the Chiang Mai Mail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
