Aussie tourist, 36, dies in hotel room in Phuket as cops make a grim discovery

A young Australian man has been found dead in a hotel in Thailand as police discover a series of illicit substances in his room. 

Emergency services rushed to the hotel on Soi Ta-iad in Phuket about 2.30pm on Wednesday after staff discovered the 36-year-old man motionless on his bed.

Police found no signs of assault on the man’s body and are not treating his death as suspicious, local media outlet Thaiger reports. 

It’s understood detectives discovered several substances in the man’s hotel room, including Viagra, sleeping pills, marijuana, and alcohol. 

Police and a forensic doctor have suggested they may have contributed to the cause of death, though further testing is underway. 

The man was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Local Chalong Police have informed the Australian Embassy. Daily Mail has contacted Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for comment.

The investigation is ongoing, with police awaiting toxicology results, questioning employees at the hotel and reviewing CCTV footage from the property.
