Sad. It reminds me to advise all retirees here to make some arrangement whereby someone knows who to call should illness or death occur.

My condolences to the friends and family of the victim.

Along with directions to be cremated, if that is your wish. I would not want my brother to have to pay for my body to be shipped back and buried....

Can anyone forward any more details please?

Same name and age of my friend who was living in Pattaya from time to time over the last 13 years. He had lived in Hong Kong and the Phils most recently.

My friend has a shaved head, from Sunderland, tatoo of a Thai Buddha on his back, about 5'10".

Is this my friend?

Just received an sms from him, in the Phils.

Codolences to David Roberts family and friends.
