webfact Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Mystery surrounds death of Englishman found in north-east rubber plantation Picture: 77jowo BANGKOK: -- Police have said that they are at a loss to explain the death of a Coventry man found in a house in a rubber plantation in Bung Kan province. Mr Nigel Checketts, 60, was found clothed and face up on his bed in the one story house in Na Saeng sub-district. The TV, fan and a light were all on, reported 77Jowo. It is thought he had been dead four to five days due to the decomposition of the body. There were no signs of a struggle or injuries to the body. Mr Checketts was found by his estranged wife Somkhit Patirupa, 45. She said they had been married for years but split up five years ago with her husband deciding to stay alone in the house. She called him over the phone and was concerned when he did not pick up on Saturday despite the phone being on. She said that he was neither a smoker or drinker and had no diseases she was aware of. A British passport that accompanied the 77Jowo story had expired in January 2015. An old driving license from the Philippines was also pictured. Sriwilai police said they could not be sure why the British man died and sent the body to Khon Kaen for autopsy.

ratcatcher Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 RIP mate. Very sad that he was not missed for 4 days. Fortunately his wife managed to "sound the alarm" Why does it say FIL under nationality on the DL. He was British? No? FIL=Filippino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, ever heard of a hart disease, cancer, .....? His passport expired more than 2 years ago so that means no visa for at least 2 years. That is fishy.

I am 72, living in rural Khampaeng Phet, a non smoker and no credit cards. I quit smoking in 1970 and got rid of all my credit cards back in 2005. The difference between the guy who died and me is that I am still alive, still married and still living with my wife and son. Please tell me if my story seems fishy and try to explain why you think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfarang Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 My question is: was he worth more dead than alive to his ex Thai wife? Hope the police will investigate motives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgeorgeallen Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 seems it is almost always the estranged wife or girlfriend who leads to the body being found. wonder if the estranged wife in this case will want the guys house now it has a ghost in it.

Guitar God Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Carrie Fischer died when she was 60, maybe the Thaivisa sleuths should get busy on that case. When that's solved, Erin Moran was only 56, super suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred the good good old days when a farang bound his feet and arms before leaping six foot onto the noose ... he thought he could fool the "Boys in Brown" ... not a chance! They know every "suicide" trick in the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying he was reasonably healthy as he didn't smoke so who or what killed him ? where are his credit cards and bank book ?? where is his thai gf ? bangkok with someone else ??
