Frenchman Found Dead In Pattaya Condo

French foreign resident found dead in apartment

No obvious signs of foul play, but death is under investigation

PATTAYA: The body of 38-year-old Jean Louis Lefort was discovered shortly before Christmas in his large 7th floor apartment at Rungfah Condominium. He was found naked, lying on the bed, and police investigating the report calculated that he had died 7 days prior to being discovered.

No signs of a struggle or foul play were noted; however, officers did collect a loaded .38 revolver and other suspicious items from inside the condo and kept them as evidence before sending the man’s body to the forensic institute for a post mortem examination.

Residents in the building described Lefort as a likeable person who had lived in the building for quite some time and in Thailand for more the than 10 years. He often went by the name of Adornchai Phakdeepanya, as he was legally adopted by a Thai lady.

Police have not completely ruled out foul play. They are waiting for the final autopsy report and are continuing their investigation.
