English man found dead in his Soi Beokeow Home.

We now report on another foreign fatality in Pattaya. Police Lieutenant Colonel Omsin from Pattaya Police Station was called in to investigate this case at the Nid Housing Estate in Soi Beokeow. Inside House number 420/29, the body of Mr. Andrew Ratcliffe aged 57 from England was discovered. It appeared that he had been dead for a number of days due to the level of decomposition which had taken place. A search of the rented house was made and an initial inspection of the body came up with nothing suspicious. We understand that the man was in poor health and was on a whole host of medication relating to abdominal and cardiac problems. Around the body were many empty bottles of beer which may have contributed to his death. The body was removed and a post mortem examination is now underway under the watchful eyes of the British Embassy in Bangkok.
