I imagine it'll be deemed a suicide.http://www.samuitimes.com/french-man-fo ... suspected/ French man found hanged in Koh Tao with his hands tied behind his back – foul play suspected

At around 3pm in the 1st of January 2015 police and rescue teams were called to a bungalow on Koh Tao where the body of a 29 year old French murder sucide Koh Taoman was found hanging from the ceiling of his rented bungalow. Suspicions arose over what appeared to be a suicide when on further inspection it was discovered the man’s hands were tied behind his back. Wounds were discovered around the man’s neck as well as two 5cm lacerations to his arm, one near his wrist the second near to his elbow. It is thought the man had been dead for around two hours.

The door to the man’s bungalow, later identified as Dmitri, was open and there was no sign of a struggle. Police and rescue workers found a note on the man’s bed that suggested a recent love affair may have come to an end and that the man recently lost one of his grandparents, however questions are being asked as to how it is possible for anybody to commit suicide with their hand tied behind their back. An autopsy is expected to reveal whether or not that man was drugged.

I think two Burmese did it. No worries, Koh Tao's crack investigating team will solve the case in due time.

Since the infamous double murder, I wonder if tourism on Koh Tao has plummeted so far this high season. This disturbing case will put another nail in the coffin. Maybe good deals on accommodation to be had there in 2015 (assuming, of course, one doesn't get murdered as a general consequence of staying there)?

Is it common for Frenchmen to be called Dmitri?

There's been a Russo-French connection since 'Peter The Great'.

was he wearing that neat towel-thing when found or did they do that for the pic?

sounds as if he attempted suicide by cutting (wrists, neck) and then hanged himself?

Not as bad as the suicide 7 or 8 years ago in Pattaya where the guy stabbed himself multiple X, hogtied himself. and jumped over a 42" railing from his knees, plunging to his death 25 stories below. Police theorized that he was depressed because he had no money (none in wallet, no watch, phone, or computer) and had broken up with the bargirl he met 2 days previous.
