Nothing gets past these Thai doctors.
But at least the cameras were work....
Wealthy Thai-Indian couple drown on Koh TaoSURAT THAI: A wealthy Thai-Indian were found drowned in a hotel pool on Koh Tao while holidaying on the island. Police found no signs of foul play.
Rakesh Sajjathammakun, 59, and his wife Anchu, 55, are believed to have died while swimming in the pool at the Jamahkiri Resort & Spa on Friday.
Their son Ratich Sajjathammakun, 34, alerted police after he found his parents lying in the water. He called hotel staff for help but attempts to revive the couple failed.
The couple owned a five-star hotel in Phuket and plastics factories in Rayong and Prachin Buri provinces, Thai media reported on Saturday.
Pol Col Kriangkrai Kraikaew, chief of Koh Tao police, told Thai media that the couple had visited the island for a holiday with their son. After checking into the hotel, they went for a walk. Their son left for a nearby beach while his parents went to the pool, according to police investigation.
Police found no traces of a struggle or any other signs of foul play at the scene. Investigators were told that Rakesh had some underlying health conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, said Pol Col Kriangkrai.
Closed-circuit television cameras at the hotel had not been working for several months due to lack of maintenance. The hotel had not opened the swimming pool during the Covid-19 outbreak, said Pol Col Kriangkrai.
Investigators believe that either Rakesh or his wife had got into trouble while swimming, and that the other had tried unsuccessfully to help.
Thai media reported that the couple’s son cast no doubt on the cause of his parents’ deaths. During an initial examination of the bodies, a doctor concluded that the couple died due to lack of oxygen to the brain.
