British tourist found dead in rented house in Koh Samui

Mystery surrounds the death of a fifty year old British tourist found dead in a rented house in the Bo Phut area of Koh Samui.

Police said that Eddie James Wynne had been dead for three or four days, reported Daily News. There was no sign of a struggle, no evidence of theft and no tell tale wounds on the body.

The owner of the house Sunthorn Cha-umwan said that he had not seen Mr Wynne since Saturday. He had rented the room since arriving on May 9th. He kept himself to himself and sometimes friends came for a drink
with him.

Police found a Honda Click parked outside the property that is next to a Bang Jak gas station. All the doors were locked and they had to force a window and clamber inside through that.

The victim was dressed only in grey shorts and was found face down.

The body was sent for autopsy to find the cause of death. Medics said there was no evidence found to suggest that the dead man was suffering from any disease.
