webfact Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Brit man found dead in Thailand hotel By KAREN MORRISON TRAT: -- A BRITISH man was found dead today in his room after a mammoth binge-drinking session in Thailand, reports say. Carsten Denbigh was found in his hotel room in Wang Krachae, Muang district, after his relationship allegedly broke down. He and his girlfriend had visited the island of Koh Mak a week ago and she stayed with him for two nights before returning to the UK after an argument, police said. The 47-year-old’s body was found kneeling on the floor against a bed and was discovered up to seven hours after his death. The holidaymaker had reportedly drunk heavily for several days before being sent to hospital for two days. He was then released and taken to a city hotel by authorities because he had no money for transport.

hyperdimension Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Cannabis would have been a better alternative, if his intenition was just to chill out in a deep daze for a while and not to die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draftvader Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I am never surprised at the Daily Mail's low level of journalistic excellence. In the article they show a photo of a beach in the Similians. Did none of them think to look at the distances when using that library photo. Could they seriously not find an image of a beach in Trat province? I wonder if the girlfriend will tell of a missing night in the run up to their bust-up? One where he crawled back in late/didn't make it back. I don't know anything more about the story than is written in the article, but this level of reaction from the ex tells me that this man had screwed it up BIG STYLE.

jcgodber Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I feel very sorry for the poor man what really bothers me though is.... it was reported that the man was DUMPED "taken to a city hotel by authorities because he had no money" It sounds like the authorities just performed a body dump.

Greer Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Very sad that anything like this ever happens - no matter where. I see a number of posts from people who knew him; he had friends, and I can only guess that maybe he intended to try to dull the pain he felt a little. I didnt know him, but I would just like to send my condolences to his family and friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Sierhuis Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Carsten is the one on the left on the pic. taken last februari at Doi Suthep. Carsten lived for over 20 years in Chaing Mai so no tourist but was an expat. So you get more an idea of who he was and looked like..It hurts people saying things like alcoholic and being abusive. The man was not like that ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound like they dumped him at all. The report says that they took him to a hotel because he had no money for transport, i.e. they were doing him a favour and driving him to a hotel because he had no cash to pay for a taxi, not dumping him because he was potless.

hotandhumid Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 A sad story but no woman is worth dying over, that's for sure, so I kind of lose a bit of respect there if i'm honest, but sad none the less. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
