Police have launched an investigation after a Canadian man was found dead inside a parked car near Nui Beach in Karon yesterday morning, leaving officers puzzled over the circumstances of his death.
Karon Police were alerted to the scene at approximately 9.15am yesterday, February 10, where they found the man’s body inside a Mitsubishi Xpander with Phuket registration. His lifeless form was positioned near the rear door, prompting immediate concern.

Police are now working with the Canadian Embassy to notify the man’s family, as investigations continue into the circumstances leading up to his tragic demise.
While foul play has not been ruled out, police are considering all possibilities, including medical complications or external factors that may have contributed to his death. The isolated nature of the location and the absence of any immediate signs of struggle have raised further questions.
The case remains open, with officials urging anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, the Canadian man’s death adds to a growing list of foreigner-related incidents in Phuket, putting the spotlight on tourist safety in the region, reported The Phuket News.
