rooster59 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Pattaya: Tragic scene as Dutch pensioner's wife arrives at drowning "A heartbroken wife" - Image: Sanook Police and Sawang Boriboon rescue services were called to the beach near Walking Street at 7 pm last night after a body was seen floating in the sea. A boat was used to bring the body to shore as a crowd of Thai and foreign tourists gathered, reported Sanook. The deceased was wearing only a swimming costume and was Mr Johannes, aged 74. His wife Sukjai, 41, was soon on the scene in floods of tears. She was comforted by members of the public seeing her terrible distress. She said that her husband, a man from the Netherlands, had told her he was going for a swim in the sea. He had been gone for hours and she had filed a report with the Pattaya police. She said she was particularly worried for him because he had suffered an accident recently. Police determined there was no foul play and the body was taken for an autopsy at the Police Hospital.

Is that the correct sequence? Now that they have declared "no foul play" and have face attached to that declaration, isn't there pressure on the coroner to tilt the autopsy results that direction? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samtab has previous. For example, he also thinks the destitute and homeless man from Sukhotai who traveled to Ko Larn desperately searching for his daughter is a hilarious story.
