Body Found Off Koh Tao 'Not Missing Swissman'

By Khaosod Eng.

SURAT THANI — The dead body found off the southern island of Koh Tao yesterday is not the Swiss tourist who was reported missing a week ago, police say.

Deputy commander of Surat Thani police Pol.Col. Sonthichai Arwattanakullathep said yesterday that a forensic examination revealed that the unidentified body is not Hanspeter Suter, who went missing on 8 November.

Suter was reported missing after he rented a set of snorkeling equipment from Haat Sai Ri beach on Koh Tao island. He was last seen swimming "in the shallow area" of the sea on the same day a rainstorm hit the coast of southern Thailand, raising fears that he may have drowned.

Police have yet to identify the dead body that was found on 14 November, though Pol.Col. Sonthichai speculated that the deceased may have been European because "the body has a tattoo that's popular among Europeans."

"Pol.Col. Sonthichai insisted that the dead body found off the coast of Koh Tao shows no marks of murder."

The body is decomposed and half eaten and they can't identify any marks of murder.

Ain't they clever these Thai Police?

RIP whoever you are.

Costas,

Come on now, your personal bias is showing through.

Ofcourse, you know that signs of trauma can become difficult to spot if a body has been in saltwater for many days.

Bit confused... didn't they find the dead body on a beach in Khanom yesterday?...or is it another one?

The bodies are piling up too quickly for me! Can't keep count... coffee1.gif

Amazing place this Koh Tao - to say the least!

Some Swiss body missing, another body found without ID while another miracle case of two dead youngsters is being pushed around on the desks of Bangkok and London.

One of the unhealthiest/most dangerous places on earth? Possibly not but Koh Tao will make it into the statistics of islands ;-)

Note to Quality Tourists: Come to Thailand, the water's lovely!

The balconies are just the right size

and the Thais will welcome you with open arms (but watch your back pocket)

This is getting like flying Malaysian airlines - except...

ONE by ONE...

Just how many bodies are there in that area of the sea? How many more are there as yet unsighted? Makes the Bermuda Triangle look like a safe place to travel through!

Lazy journalism.

This guy was found on Khanom Beach which is in Nakhon Si Thammarat, nowhere near Koh Tao. In fact more than 100km away.

R.I.P to the victim.

Yeah well, anyways....several bodies washed ashore all up and down that coast this year. Who knows where they all originated from.

That makes four dead foreigners in or around Koh Tao assuming the Swiss scuba diver has died in the meantime and high season hasn't even started yet.

FWIW, they pull several bodies out of the Mekong near here that never get identified. I don't think there is any attempt to ever identify any of them.
