Thai authorities are investigating the deaths of six foreign nationals whose bodies were discovered in a hotel room in downtown Bangkok. The incident has prompted Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to order a thorough probe to determine the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Metropolitan Police Bureau Commissioner Thiti Saengsawang confirmed that the bodies of three men and three women were found in a single hotel room on Tuesday. Initial reports had suggested the possibility of a shooting, but police have since dismissed this, indicating that the cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
According to Xinhua news agency, Commissioner Saengsawang mentioned that suspicious substances were found in the hotel room, leading investigators to consider poisoning as a potential cause. He also noted that there were no signs of struggle at the scene.
Prime Minister Thavisin has directed authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to prevent any potential public impact from the incident. The identities and nationalities of the deceased individuals have not been disclosed pending notification of their families.
The discovery has raised concerns and garnered attention both domestically and internationally, with authorities working swiftly to establish the sequence of events leading to the tragic deaths.
