Kritsada Mueanhawong



PHUKET: -- A French national was found dead in his Patong guesthouse last night.

Police believe that Stephane Santin, 48, died two days before his body was discovered.

"Mr Santin's friend was concerned that he hadn’t heard from him since Monday," said Lt Col Weerapong Rakhito of the Patong Police. "He went to go check on him at his room, but no one answered the door. He also noticed a bad smell coming from inside."

The 4 empty booze bottles must have been for medical purpose, but not the proper prescription for

what was needed. But I guess when your heart stops and you die, it can be seen as a heart attack,

makes no difference if from drugs, gun shot, knife nor whatever. Probably makes the family feel somewhat better

than ''drank himself to death''

empty beer bottles, medicine beside the bed, alone, bad smell, no mobile, no wallet, thai gf at MIL.

There is no report that his mobile and wallet were missing. Police reported that there was not sign of the room being ransacked.

yes, but you can ransack a room and then put things back where they came from so it doesn't look ransacked ? just seems odd that a 48 yr old with empty bottles and no word of any phone or wallet in the story ? odd don't you think ...

Follow the link to the original article, it states "Inside they found Mr Santin face down on his bed with four empty liquor bottles in the room.

Beer is clearly not liquor.

right ... liquor is vodka or whiskey ... correct ! ?

A distilled beverage, spirit, liquor, hard liquor or hard alcohol is an alcoholic beverage produced by distillation of a mixture produced from alcoholic fermentation.

There's more to this .... did he drink himself into oblivion ???? if so .. why ????? gf ? money ??

we need to look into this alot more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Alwyn

Beer is alcohol, therefore, in my opinion, "liquor."

However, the article stated "four empty liquor bottles" - not four empty beer bottles. Also, the size of those bottles was not mentioned.

This is important, because it is extremely difficult to die of alcoholic poisoning from drinking beer.

I agree, Thai police need to look into every death of a young foreigner here A LOT MORE.

We have a laugh at the Thai police always stating it's a suicide, but sadly, the doctor performing the autopsy probably just follows along with the police, and disregards evidence to the contrary.
