CHIANG MAI: An American tourist was found hanged in a room at a Chiang Mai hostel on Thursday night in what police believe to be a suicide.
The tourist was identified as Samuel Frederic, 38, from Oklahoma. Pol Lt Col Anek Chaiwong, deputy commander of the Phuping police station, said the tourist was found hanging from a strip torn from his travelling bag and tied to a bar of the bedstead.
A doctor’s preliminary inspection turned up no sign of foul play.
Anek said there were five bottles of foreign whisky in the man’s bag, each partially consumed.
A maid seeking to clean the room in the evening found the body.
An autopsy will be performed at Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital. - The Nation/Asia News Network
