PHUKET ISLAND, Thailand – Police in Thailand are investigating the death of a Canadian tourist in a hotel room.
Police say the body of 28-year-old Michael Talbot was found at the Tropica Bungalow Resort on Phuket Island early Tuesday.
Capt. Yingyong Chuoykij told the Phuket News that a friend had called for help at about 5:30 a.m. after Talbot told him he had chest pain and difficulty breathing.
Yingyong said there were “no signs of robbery or assault” and a doctor at Patong Hospital told the newspaper that they had yet to confirm a cause of death.
Yingyong said the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok and the family have been notified of Talbot’s death.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said the body was found Wednesday.
