Royal Crown Hotel & Palm Spa Resort staffers informed Patong police of the death at 4:30am.

“He was only wearing swimming trunks, and there was a bottle of liquor at the bottom of the pool,” Lt Col Jongserm Preecha of the Patong Police said.
“There were no signs of physical assault to his body,” Lt Col Jongserm said.
The body was transported to Patong Hospital to determine cause of death.
