Correction: Dead American found by partner, not wife

PHUKET: The woman who discovered the body of Albert Alletzhauser on Tuesday was the mother of his daughter but not his wife, the Gazette has learned.

The woman, Mikki Ferreira, wrote the following to the Gazette this morning:

Dear Editor,

“I would appreciate it if you set the record straight about the details of Mr Alletzhauser’s death. He was indeed found the way described, but not by his wife. I am the mother of his daughter, and I did find him, but his wife is Mrs Anne Alletzhauser.

“Mr Alletzhauser was in Thailand visiting his daughter. I would really appreciate it if you could print a correction saying that the person who found him was his youngest daughter’s mother and not Mrs Alletzhauser. As you can understand the current statement is painful for his family.

Thank you

Mikki Ferreira”

The Gazette thanks Ms Ferreira for her letter and expresses condolences to all of the late Mr Alletzhauser’s family and friends.
