    Google Andrew Drummond ( ace reporter ) and you will find what little information is to be had.

    What is referred to by the authorities as an investigation is under way. He received a beating and clearly died from injuries sustained but whether they were received whilst in police custody or in the local Pattaya prison is not yet known.

    Death in Thailand: body flown home
    Friday, 27 April 2012

    A FUNERAL to bid farewell to a Barrow man who died in Thailand will take place next week.


    FUNERAL ARRANGED: Sean Partick Flanagan's funeral will take place at St Mary's Church in Duke Street, Barrow
    JON GRANGER REF: 50032868B002

    Family and friends will meet for the funeral of Sean Patrick Flanagan, 46, with a Requiem Mass at St Mary of Furness Roman Catholic Church on Friday, May 4 at 12.10pm.

    Mr Flanagan, who split his time between Barrow, Dalton and Thailand, died on March 30 just nine days after he was arrested in the holiday haven of Pattaya.

    The Pattaya Daily News reported that Thai police charged him on March 21, alleging he stole a moped from a pawn shop and drove it to a nearby hotel.

    Mr Flanagan, who denied the charge, is survived by his parents Olive and Tony, daughter Lauren, siblings Paula and Sarah and brothers-in-law Roger and Steve.

    The funeral notice states Mr Flanagan was also a “friend of Mick, a loved uncle and friend to countless people who crossed his path. ‘Sleep gently nature’s boy’”.

    The UK Foreign Office is understood to have assisted the family in bringing Mr Flanagan’s body back to Barrow. An official cause of death has not yet been made public.

    Steven Strefford, 53, of Walney, described his friend as a “cracking guy” and “absolutely blinding lad” who had travelled extensively across Asia, Africa and Europe.

    The family has requested mourners not to wear formal clothes at the service. Floral tributes, or donations to Cardio Risk in the Young in honour of Mr Flanagan’s late son, Scott, may be left at the church or sent to Little and Caine Funeral Directors at 48 Ulverston Road, Dalton.

    The mass will be followed by interment at Barrow Cemetery.

    If you read the Drummond article you will see how this guy had caused problems in public and on airplanes including an incident where he had to be forcibly removed from the plane.

    "The court heard he had 25 previous convictions for 44 offences which included assaults and public disorder."

    And then there is this post after the article says the Thai inmates beat him to death because he wouldn't shut up at night.


    "I know quite alot about this case, by coincidence. I wasn't an eyewitness but I know one and I knew Sean and I have been in that prison myself. Basically he was beaten to death by the inmates in the dark of the night because he was keeping them awake. There isn't much that can be done about it because it would be impossible to prove who did it. What should be done is that farangs shouldn't be packed into those cells, especially when they are going through alcohol or drug withdrawals. He is not the first to be murdered in there although as can be seen these cases aren't made known to the media".

    Agreed.

    Putting a crazed/blabbering/thrashing farang-in-drug/alcohol-withdrawal in a cage with a bunch of Thai animals is tantamount to a death sentence.

    Typical Thai 'justice'.

    recent farang death in Thai jail under-reported on Teakdoor

    Earth to Teakdoor mods: why don't you properly label this thread?

    It should read something like "Pattaya: foreigner steals motorcycle from pawn shop then dies in police custody".

    A farang died for f*#k sake.

    died after being arrested and while in Thai police custody.

    Died.

    In a Thai jail.

    Under 'strange' circumstances.

    After being arrested for stealing a motorbike.

    if he hadnt stolen the motorcycle he wouldnt have been in there, if he hadnt been a drunken lout with no self control he wouldnt have been beaten up. he was a regular visitor to thailand so he will have known about the thai propensity for violence

    all actions have consequences and he can have nobody to blame but himself for his sad demise, so to start saying that an arrested person should be given special treatment because if he is an alcoholic foreigner somewhat misses the point.

    "The court heard he had 25 previous convictions for 44 offences which included assaults and public disorder."
    some people never learn. if he had received a few good thrashings back home earlier on in his career as a lout then he might have changed his ways. but back in the uk he will have been seen as a victim by the system, never punished, just patted on the head and sent home to carry on as before.

    not here though.

    Maybe the BiB should have taken him to Mata Hari for dinner instead, shame on them for arresting someone breaking the law.

    didn't say he was 'more worthy'. what I said was Dirtydog should change the f*#king title of the thread to read "...stole cycle THEN DIED IN POLICE CUSTODY"

    utter bullshit. he was murdered in his cell, according to someone who knows what went down. Murdered because he wouldn't be quiet at night, because he was going through withdrawal. You do understand the concept of murder, right? Murder is when someone else kills another.

    The reason we have rule of law and due process and treatment programs in the West is precisely because of the mentality of people such as yourself who prefer mob rule, summary execution, murder in Thai jails, etc etc ad nauseum.

    You are basically saying you would have taken part in his murder if you had been there.

    How does it feel, Taxexile and Fondles, to be on the same level as the Thai scum who murdered him in his cell and the Thai cops who didn't take the guy where he belonged: to a hospital for detox?

    So what? The story needs to be told, not buried under 'farang steals bike from pawn shop".

    yeah, and when I wrote teakdoor mods about it they didn't respond, and when I posted a new thread to convey the important fact that this guy died in thai prison, the thread was removed.

    Actually, you DID.

    Implicitly, otherwise you would have created hundreds of threads about every Thai whom has died in custody and/or at the hands of police as well.

    we have rule of law and due process and treatment programs in the West
    rule of law? due process? treatment programmes?

    so how come he had 25 convictions for 44 offences?
    why was he free to continue offending if there is law and due process in effect?

    how come he was still assaulting people and causing disorder?
    in the west, people like him laugh at the helpless victims of their behaviour.

    here the victims fight back, if the law wont protect them then they must protect themselves, often with terrifying consequences, but as a regular to thailand he will have known that.

    he was an out of control lout, who has never been punished properly for the havoc he had selfishly caused. fuelled by self administered alcohol or drugs, he brought the whole sorry mess down on himself.

    Look, if a Thai guy stole a bike and the teakdoor thread said 'Thai guy steals a bike from a pawn shop" and then the guy was murdered in prison, I would be writing the same stuff I'm writing here, saying 'change the title of the thread', cause it isn't anymore JUST about a guy stealing a bike from a pawnshop. It's about a guy who was very likely murdered in jail.

    jails are dangerous places so if you dont want to get murdered in jail, its best to avoid going there in the first place.

    its all about the choices we make in life.

    actually, it's about what kind of society you've created: one with rule of law and decency when it comes to people going through the medical emergency of withdrawal or a society...like the Thais where executions and murders go un-investigated and unpunished.

    if i lived in england i would have no fear about committing anti social crimes because i knew that the courts, the police and the law could do nothing to stop me. nor could the poor victims of my behaviour. there are no boundaries.

    hardly a good model for a peaceful society.

    here, criminal on criminal violence is accepted, or at least overlooked.
    natural culling if you like.

    they are crims, society does not want them nor need them so why tolerate them.

    the great injustices that exist here are another subject altogether.

    but the beating of a disruptive yob in a prison cell is neither here nor there. he had probably beaten a few up himself in his time.

    ..... and no he shouldnt have been killed, very sad for his family, but it is hardly surprising that he was given his history as reported.

    Fuzzy Bob: fuzzy thinking at its 'finest'.

    I wish there were more people like 'fuzzy' who believe in murder, and the lack of rule of law.

    What a wonderful world this would be if we had more fuzzies.

    Thank you, fuzzy, for sharing your wit and wisdom.

    Oh, please, do give us more!
