Kusondharm volunteers prepare a stretcher and body bag while two of their colleagues look at the best way to retrieve the body.

PHUKET: Police are trying to establish the identity of a dead man found floating face-up near the fishing pier at Rassada yesterday (January 30) with a knife stuck in the back of his head.

When investigator Maj Rachun Panwai and Kusoldharm rescuers arrived at the pier in the afternoon they found a group of local people gathered on shore gawking – despite the foul smell of the already badly decomposed body.

The dead man was wearing a red tank top and white jeans with a kitchen knife tucked into the waistband.

After he was retrieved police found the knife sticking out of the back of his head. They also found a stab wound in his back.

In his pocket they found B100 cash and a mobile phone, which may give clues as to the dead man’s identity.

Police estimated he had been dead for at least 10 days and theorised that he might have been a Burmese worker attacked by a gang and stabbed from behind as he ran away. His attackers, they believe, dumped him in the sea after he collapsed.

So far, however, they have no solid clues about his identity. Kusoldharm volunteers took the body to Vachira Hospital for further examination.

Oh. Not ruled as suicide?

He's not a farang

[Patje]

Probably swam over from Koh Tao ...

[Graemej100]

Obviously suicide.

[jdinasia]

He wore white after Labor Day.

[hansgruber]

Obviously he slipped over while shucking oysters for Farangs so it's the tourists fault.

[sabaii69]

Obviously no multi-storied building to 'jump' out of. If his hands were tied behind his back it would be suicide 100%. RIP and may the truth prevail.

Why there are only disrespectful replies. RIP. Being stabed in the back on the run, sounds like some group heroes did something for their pride

Eff me, the guy is dead!

He is a son, may'be a brother, may'be a father.

Just ask yourself would you like this type of comments about you.

OK you would be dead, but, I know, perhaps the family may, or may not, read TV.

BUT some respect please.

"a young guy has been brutally murdered" - where does it mention the victim's age?

Age is relative, to your own, just like IQ.

Good post BBG, but wasted on people who don't have a heart and almost as much grey matter.
