From Pattaya News

Pattaya Police are investigating the potential suicide of a Czech tourist who was found hanged in an apartment building in Pattaya on Thursday, March 7th, 2024.

Pol Lt Thanawee Yarangsi, Deputy Investigator of the Pattaya Police Station, received a report of a deceased tourist at an apartment in Pattaya at 5:00 PM. Rescue workers and police officers were immediately deployed to the scene.

The lifeless body of Mr. Petr Vojacek, a 49-year-old Czech citizen, was found hanging from a roof beam in a fifth-floor storage room of the apartment. His name had been revealed by police after authorities reportedly contacted his embassy and family members.

A nylon rope was tied around his neck. The body exhibited signs of early decomposition, with body fluids and a strong odor. Authorities assumed that Mr. Petr had likely been deceased for at least three days based on the decomposition. The room was restricted to preserve the incident scene.

A preliminary examination revealed no signs of physical violence on the body. Ms. Sirinna Buphadee, the 35-year-old caretaker of the apartment building, informed police that Mr. Petr had checked in on February 28th, 2024. The last time she saw him alive was on March 2nd. A foul odor caused her to investigate the storage room on March 7th, where she discovered Mr. Petr’s body. She immediately contacted the authorities.

Pol Lt Thanawee took a photographic record of the scene for evidence. He stated that the victim may take his own life; however, the exact cause of death will be confirmed by a forensic examination at the Police General Hospital.

As I started reading this article I thought it sounded reminiscent of David Carradine’s death in Bangkok, however there was no mention of auto-erotic asphyxiation. RIP.
