Maltese man, 70, found dead in Phuket
PHUKET: -- A 70-year-old Maltese man was found dead in a Phuket guest house last night.
The Phuket Wan Tourism News said this morning that the man, a heavy smoker and an asthmatic, was found by his girlfriend naked on a bed at the Maximum Guesthouse in Nanai Road, Patong.
He was one of three expats found dead overnight. Although not suspicious, their deaths still have to be explained, authorities said.
The other expats are a 24-year-old Frenchman found hanging from a doorway at a house in Moo 7, Saiyuan, Rawai, two hours earlier and a 29-year-old American woman found in a guesthouse in Rawai, southern Phuket, three hours later.
Maybe some of these were suicides, who knows? Being in Thailand for 6 months I could see why there might be some suicides. Some of the people I have met, I mean the ex-pats or teachers, not the travelers. Seem quite sad and lonely and it doesn't surprise me this happens, regularly.
All our thoughts go out the families involved.
