another tragedy.

sad for a thirty year old to depart. could it be a sporting

injury..whatever the cause of death, what is disturbing is that he was not missed by

anybody for three days.

RIP mate

Police said there were no signs of a struggle,this is the common line in every foreign death reported in the news by Thai Police in LOS, it must be a std form they fill out and give to the press.

Mmm. I wonder if the "medication" found in the room included steroids.
