Good luck with that.  This is Thailand and sorry to say but he was just a tourist and authorities Don't give a damn.

[smedly]

Although they said his body was found I have not read any details..................nothing ?

 

maybe I missed it somehow or maybe the authorities don't want anyone to know 

[colinneil]

Brother wants answers, ok but he has no chance of getting an honest answer from authorities here.

Or help from the consulate. Who are just diplomats enjoying the pleasures!

What annoys me about consulates is the attitude of the workers. They all have the attitude that their job is to drink expensive scotch and play golf with the local nobs . This may be true for the top guys but the attitude permeates down to the lowest clerk. Don't expect any help.

[timewilltell]

Sadly he will be on his own and met with a wall of lies, deceit and apathy and probably be asked for money fie nothing - which defines Thailand.and it's attitude to everything

[Canceraid]

Huh! The same brother said in another media report that his brother did take drugs! What to expect from the life of a junkie.

SAMUI: -- Last week, Englishman Andrew Apperley, 38, was found dead four days after going alone to Koh Phangan’s famous Full Moon Party.

 

His family filed a missing person report after Apperley did not return to his hotel, ibis on Koh Samui, four days after the beach party ended. The hotel staff still had his passport and driver’s license, which he left with them at reception when he checked in.

 

The deceased man’s brother, Richard Apperley, is demanding answers from the Thai police and suspects that foul play was involved in the death of his beloved brother.

I'm afraid answers are expensive in Thailand, and, even if you pay for them, you only get what you pay for.

[darksidedog]

I am sure he will get plenty of answers.

The Thai police will tell him they have done a very extensive investigation.

However, the answers he is seeking and what actually happened are very likely to be two entirely different stories.

He is on a mission that everybody else have failed so far. Good Luck!

[petermik]

There is more chance of snowfall in Bangkok than getting any honest information from thai authorities here 

[retarius]

Surely an extremely quick blood test can show if he had intoxicating substances on board. Why the wait…they can test for most drugs within an hour.

Quote

‘Omg had a mad night all the guys wanting (sic) kill me,’ wrote the father-of-one from Eastbourne, Sussex.

He added ‘Scary guy with face mask. After mushroom. What the f***’ and ‘I’m tripping out. Think I’ve been spiked.’

The messages suggested he had consumed magic mushrooms, which make people hallucinate, and the stimulant Ritalin.

Metro: He sent disturbing final messages to his friends (Picture: Mirror Online)
 

If Andrew Apperley had been taking drugs, or hippie-age mushrooms, it may not be that mysterious after all...

[farcanell]

I think the answer is already quite clear, from the activity engaged in per his texting.

 

but given the bad press about Thailand and full moon parties, his family is probably thinking the worst of Thailand vs the worst of their son / brother.

 

that said... autopsy findings / fiction should provide answers, although repatriating the body may need to be done for this.

[FitnessHealthTravel]

As I said before...bad Mushroom omelet! 

[balo]

If the brother wants answers he should read all the facebook messages , he was a drug addict and the drug killed him most probably.

What would you, @The Old Bull or your supporters have them do that hasn't been done in this or similar cases?

oh the powerful keyboard...............go take a shower - a long shower and clean the stink from your decrepit life - who are you to criticise, this young man with a successful career in the prime of his life who maybe smoked a little pot or what ever ...................he is dead, and the authorities here in Thailand are trying to play  this down and paint a picture that they want to paint - it stinks just all like all you keyboard stinkers who sit there and stink jealous of someone who actually achieved - yeh were are your wives and your children   - oh abandanded back in the west because they couldn't stand you...the stink and the fat

Plenty of people with families do drugs I doubt it was just pot unless it was laced with something.

 

One other article quoted his family saying he had a drug problem at one time.

 

The smell isn't comming from me you might want to check yourself

[catman20]

wasn't he a bit old for this full moon crap? RIP
