Phuket Expat Found Dead in Upstairs Room

Thursday, February 24, 2011

AN EXPAT who has been living on Phuket for more than 10 years was found dead in a house in Rawai yesterday.

He was Andreas Born, 49. Mr Born's body was found in an upstairs room of a house in a soi near the landmark Shell Museum.

Neighbors alerted police, who said Mr Born had probably been dead for several days. Police were told he was a quiet man who drank quite a lot of whisky.

Police found empty whisky bottles in the room with Mr Born's body.

His family in Germany have been notified. The body is at Vachira Phuket Hospital in Phuket City.

What's the matter with lots expats? Last view week many died in not so old age

**billy the kid** · 26-02-2011, 02:21 AM

so he's dead cause he liked whiskey !
yea seems to be a lot of deaths just lately
and not wot you call old people.

He probably didn't die of alcoholism alone, it's a long slow painful way to check out, he almost certainly had an other underlying condition which was more of a factor in his death.

Bloody hell Digit ,you got tonights lottery numbers up there ??

If his passport was issued in 1997, wouldn't it be expired by now?

Most part it will be your choice. Drink like there is no tommorow, then maybe there will not be.

I can't understand all these drunkards deaths in Thailand: in the Philippines alcohool is way cheaper

**Davis Knowlton** · 26-02-2011, 03:35 PM

^We got about a zillion fewer expats here.

**wefearourdespot** · 26-02-2011, 03:41 PM

Exactly, I don't understand why drunkards don't move from Thailand to Phils , Tanduai is 1/3 the price of Thai whisky ... TAT should make a campaign about this to shrug off the low quality tourists she is always complaining about.

**wefearourdespot** · 26-02-2011, 03:42 PM

oh, wait, wait, that would cause a Thai nationals exodus as well ...

**Davis Knowlton** · 26-02-2011, 03:45 PM

^Fuck me, mate. We don't want 'em - either batch.
