Mae Sot, Tak:- A 59-year-old Chinese tourist was found dead in a hotel in the northern border town of Mae Sot in Tak province Wednesday.


Police believe Wang Sheng had succumbed to his chronic illness that might worsen because of the heat.


Pol Lt Sittha Buasamlee, an officer on duty of Mae Sot police station, was alerted at 11 am that a foreign tourist died in a hotel on Chidwana Road in Tambon Mae Sot of Mae Sot district.


He rushed to the scene with rescuers of the Tak Ruam Jai Song Khroh foundation.


The officials found Wang’s body inside the Room B2 on the second floor of the four-storey hotel. He was found lying on the floor beside the bed with just underwear.


Police did not find any sign of foul play. The room was not searched and there was no sign of injuries on his body.


The hotel staffs told police that the man checked in on Tuesday and was scheduled to check out Wednesday.


Late in the morning, a hotel staff was sent to knock the room to inform the tourist of his schedule to check out but he did not answer the knock. As a result, the staff used a spare key to open the room and found his body so the hotel alerted police.


Police said heat might be a main reason for the man to collapse as the temperature in the town was about 39 Celsius degree Wednesday.


His body was sent for an autopsy at the Mae Sot Hospital and the Chinese Embassy would be informed of the death to try to locate his relatives.
