cornishcarlos Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not much for the TVF sleuths to go on there, although there is a little more in the linked article !! I'm guessing it's not KT linked ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 The body is Steve, owner of Fiji Palms resort next to the port at Ao Makham. The body was found by some locals, but a friend of mine was near who knows Steve well. Steve, English though also lived in NZ and Fiji. His Fijiann wife passed away some years ago. A Liverpublian and staunch Everton supporter. I can't verify this, but my understanding is that he'd been involved in a car accident with some locals very recently.

pagallim Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Surprisingly not in the media, not even confirmation of his identity. However, from friends of mine who live in Panwa, apparent cause of death was a heart attack (though the friend who saw the body on the beach said he looked like he'd been beaten - though from my own personal experience, some corpses get 'pooling' of blood in the body which resembles bruising). I believe that Steve's son has arrived from NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
