Three suspicious deaths investigated by Police in Pattaya and Banglamung.
Three cases now of, as yet, unexplained deaths which have occurred in the last 24 hours here in Pattaya.
The first fatality comes from Chockchai Village 5 in Soi Kow Noi. Banglamung Police and rescue workers were called to house number 15/50 where rescue workers removed the body of Khun Jaran aged 45. He was discovered on Wednesday Night by the owner of the house, Khun Boo-nar who came to collect her rent. She discovered the body of the man on the bed. According to Police the man had not been dead for too long. Near the body was a rubbish bin containing the skin of an Orange and Police believe this may have something to do with the death. Tests are now taking place on the remains of the orange which were also regurgitated by the victim prior to his death. Police are now keeping an open mind on the case and are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination.
Early on Thursday Morning, Police Lieutenant Colonel Pongsawat from Pattaya Police Station was called to Soi Chaleurmpragiet 23 in Central Pattaya to investigate the death of a Finnish Resident who was discovered on a sofa in front of an apartment complex. Police and rescue workers arrived and inspected the body of Mr. Niko Raine Valtteri Marin aged 27 who was carrying his Finnish Passport which indicated he originated from Turkey. An inspection of the body was made and few clues were forthcoming as to the cause of his death. Near the body was a Mosquito Repellant Stick and he was seen to have a number of Mosquito Bites. For now the cause of death is a mystery and Police and Finnish Embassy Officials are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination.
The Final case comes from Kow Mae Geow Sub-District in Banglamung and occurred in the early hours of Thursday Morning. Police and rescue workers were called to a parked Maroon colored BMW owned by Khun Sompon aged 59. Inside the car was the body of his friend, Khun Napar aged 32 who had arrived in Pattaya fron Nhakon Rachasima Province, three weeks ago. She had earlier told Khun Sompon that she was hot and wanted to sleep in the air-conditioned car. She entered the car and fell asleep. Khun Somporn went out and returned to find her dead inside the car. We understand that Police do not believe the story and are treating the case as a suspicious death and are investigating further.
