SAMUI: -- A Pathum Thani native was found dead in a rented room on Samui Island yesterday, from what police believe to have been heatstroke. The room is in a restaurant building on Chaweng Beach.

Capt Boonnam Srinarat of Bo Phut Police confirmed the death, at about 5:40pm, of Thongchai Sudjaeng, 44, a tour guide who catered to Chinese tourists.

“Mr Thongchai was lying dead on the bed, shirtless and bleeding from the ears and nose. There were no marks of violence found on his body. Rescue workers estimate that he had died about three hours prior to discovery of the corpse,” said the policeman.

No they are not. Google heat stroke, I can't find these things as being symptoms.

Bleeding from the ears and nose would suggest some sort of brain trauma, skull fracture or both. It doesn't really matter for this poor guy, RIP.

The article also says, that he probably was suffering from high blood pressure, so maybe there is a connection..?

Police also found anti-hypertensives in the room, which are normally used to treat high blood pressure and complications arising out of it.

You couldn't make this stuff up. He mentioned casually to a restaurant worker he was very hot in his room. And bingo, that is given as the cause of death. He was 44. Does this not strike you as odd, I mean everything about this story?

Yes, it says there was medicine for high blood pressure and there was blood coming out of his ears and nose. I am still at a loss to understand the police comments.

 

Perhaps put some flesh on the bones.......... of your cryptic comments...........

Thai people can tolerate much higher temperature than us Northern folks.   Thais do not walk around with a bottle of water like us.
