PHUKET: -- A 49-year-old Canadian tourist was found dead in a condo in Kathu this morning. He is believed to have been dead for at least two days before his body was discovered.

Police received a report of the incident at about 11am from ‘Plus Condo 1’. 

“We noticed a peculiar smell outside his room, which was on the 6th floor. When we opened the door, we found the victim’s body lying face-up on the bed,” Capt Wichoti Meephop of Kathu Police told Phuket Gazette reporters.

Police also found a cellphone on his chest, together with a list of hospital emergency numbers. A ‘Tripadvisor Travel Correspondent’ ID card was also found in his room, in addition to various medicines and vitamins.

RIP mate.

Wrote too many bad comments on TripAdvisor....

If it transpires that his illness had caught up with him, or that he had decided to end his suffering early, it is sad he was alone without family support at that time.

RIP

Very sad to die alone and way too young to go !!

RIP young fella .

What a crass comment- maybe you would wish for the same when you pass.

You're right...they should look at the establishments he previously stay in and read the reviews. Honestly, I truly believe it is only a matter of time before some of these owners do something silly.  RIP mate!
