PHUKET: -- A Russian expat was found dead in his hotel room in Nai Harn yesterday morning, with a head wound he had reportedly received two days earlier.

Alexander Sharkova, 47, was found by his wife, Marina Sharkova, when she came to pick him up to go to the hospital.

Ms Sharkova told officers that on Monday her husband had informed her about a head injury he had incurred in a drunken fall. He adamantly refused his friends’ offers to be taken to the hospital.

Yet another drunken fall .... I must take more care when I drink ..

RIP young Alexander ..

I fall sometimes in my room and got a fractured wrist .... you have to be careful when pissed.

Went to 2 funerals of Thai men last year all they did was fall down drunk and hit their heads. Perfectly normal here

Perhaps some people should wear their bike helmets when going out drinking.

What is this, no rumours, innuendos or assumptions. Where are the TVF lead investigators when you need them?

this is the first time I have seen the police more concerned that the wife!

I think I'm going to start wearing my full motorcycle gear.

Wondering what was the result of the autopsy...? Anyone hear anything?

Yeah, he's dead.

Thought of the day - stay alive, be a teetotaller!
