The unnamed body is now housed at a Phuket hospital morgue

Mystery Body Plucked From Sea off Phuket: Few Clues to Identity

Friday, November 23, 2012
PHUKET: Police are keen to learn the identity of a large man, possibly of European extraction, whose body was found in the sea off Phuket today.

A fishing vessel came across the body about 1pm in waters between Racha Yai and Racha Noi, not far from spots popular with day-trip snorkellers and divers.

Phuket Ruamjai Foundation paramedics helped to bring the body to shore and transported it to Phuket Vachira Hospital, in Phuket City.

The man appeared tall enough to possibly be European. After an estimated two weeks in the water, no clear clues to identity remained.

The man appeared to have had two tattoos on his right shoulder. He was wearing only a dark blue pair of underpants.

Anyone who thinks they might know who the man could be should contact Lieutenant Wuttiway Liangboonjinda at Chalong Police Station on 076 381247.

There is no face on a body after two weeks in the water.

Gregg, they have to identify the person first before they can publish a picture. A photo of the body having spent around two weeks in the water would not help.
