American Man Dies In Pattaya, Thailand
Pattaya, Chon Buri:- A 77-year-old American man was found dead in a Pattaya condominium room Wednesday, police said. Pol Lt Sombat Kaewmoolmook, an interrogator on duty of Pattaya police station, was alerted at 2 pm Wednesday that a foreigner was found dead inside a room of the Center Condotel on South Pattaya Road in Tambon Nongplue of Bang Lamung district.
Sombat led a team of police officers and officials from the Sawang Boribun Thammasathan Pattaya Foundation to check the scene. The body of Thomas Stamps Darby was found inside the room No 3/483 on the 14th floor of the condominium. He was lying face-down beside the bed and he had no cloths on.
Sombat said officials checked and found no trace of wounds or injuries on his body. The body has started to decompose. Police did not find any trace that suggested that the room might have been searched for valuables. The condominium manager told police that earlier a foreigner came to the condominium office and informed that he could not contact his friend. The foreigner said he had not seen Darby for a few days. The manager rushed to check Darby's room. When he knocked the door, the knock was not answered so he had a staff open the room with a spare key and they found the body.
Police suspected that Darby might succumb to his chronic illness. Police found a lot of anti-biotic medicine in the room. The body was sent for an autopsy at the Police Hospital's Forensic Medicine Institute for checking the cause of the death. The US embassy has been informed of the incident.
