14-year-old Ukrainian tourist dies in Phuket

so he was Ukrainian and now English ? a little seriousness in the articles would be nice .. nice journalist. RIP Ethan

I have to agree. The follow up news post says he was English. One would think the administrator that posts the news could update the title of the original post to be accurate to the unfortunate lad's nationality. It would just make a bit more sense than this misleading title...

[Considered Opinion]

A tragedy.

I suppose it is just possible that a Ukrainian is named "Ethan Williams". However, it is far more likely that The Nation has its signals crossed yet again, as is its wont.

I really find that quite hard to swallow. Such an upmarket tome, The Nation..

RIP Ethan Williams, anaphylaxis is a deeply distressing situation and requires prompt treatment. My deepest condolences to his family.

So, so sad.

Firstly, Ethan was British and not Ukranian. He was not on holiday with his parents. He was there with extended family, grandmother, aunts,uncles and cousins. They were all getting to know each other better as a family. A person can have an allergic reaction to anything, you dont need to know if you are allergic to go into anaphalaxis. I met him a few months ago and he was a very kind and sweet young man. I know Ethans family and they are totally devastated by his tragic and sudden death. He will be missed by many and never forgotten.

Very very sad.

Ethan Williams does not sound like a Ukrainian name though?

Yes you would think the title of this thread could have been corrected by now....

Yes, they should correct it. They make it sound like he was attacked or something! He was British, not Ukranian. Those reporters need to get their facts straight! Edited August 23, 2013 by cherry777

Long standing thread titles tend not to be changed as there are internet indexing issues. UK = Ukraine, typical Thai "journalism" muck up.

Yes, things like this happen with newspapers often. At least the other headlines are correct. Edited August 23, 2013 by cherry777

His name is written in one of the articles as William Ethan , I think it should be Ethan Williams .

RIP

you are right. His name was Ethan Williams. Sometimes in the Asian culture they say the last name first for some reason.
