British Death at Koh Phangan Fullmoon Party Remains Unexplained
18 November 2017
- A British coroner has described as "medieval" some aspects of the Thai police investigation into the death of a UK man after a full-moon party on Koh Phangan earlier this year.[Feburary 2017]. Sussex coroner Alan Craze made the comment at the inquest this week into the death of Andrew Apperley, whose body was found in the sea nine* days after he was last seen on the southern tourist island in February.
The local investigating officer, Pol Capt Suteep Chadakan, had given the cause of death as asphyxiation by drowning. But Mr Craze said the cause could not be definitively ascertained because of the poor information provided to him. Because of the extent to which the body had decomposed by the time British pathologists could carry out their own examination, they were unable to find a clear cause of death, the court heard.
Apperley, an Eastbourne resident who was married and had a seven-year-old daughter, was staying in a hotel on Koh Samui and took a boat to the party on Koh Phangan on Feb 12. He sent a text to his mother saying he intended to return to Samui the following day. His hotel on Phangan reported him missing four days later.
"We didn't get closure. We will probably never know what happened to Andrew," his wife Magdalena Apperley told The Independent after the inquest.

Commendable that a coroner in his home country is going to bat for him.
A statement like that is putting yourself out there.
Judging by one pic, that was a good guy I probably would have liked. And it's tragic he had a wife and kid - now he's gone.
Last time we were in Koh Pangan the guy working our bungalow complex encouraged us to go to the Full Moon Party.
I have never been in 25 years going to Thailand - still I declined. Unnecessary risk for the possible reward.

Re: British Death at Koh Phangan Fullmoon Party Remains Unexplained
take what type of caution?
I don't run with scissors if that's what they mean
I also don't do drugs or go to huge big parties
not saying hes at fault but not understanding the caution comment either
