Phuket Expat Found Dead in Upstairs Room

Thursday, February 24, 2011
AN EXPAT who has been living on Phuket for more than 10 years was found dead in a house in Rawai yesterday.

He was Andreas Born, 49. Mr Born's body was found in an upstairs room of a house in a soi near the landmark Shell Museum.

Neighbors alerted police, who said Mr Born had probably been dead for several days. Police were told he was a quiet man who drank quite a lot of whisky.

Police found empty whisky bottles in the room with Mr Born's body.

His family in Germany have been notified. The body is at Vachira Phuket Hospital in Phuket City.

you probably won't get a mention Andrew, you are so disrespectful of the dead.

RIP Andreas

Editor Comment:

Don't be too harsh, Lord Jim. Andrew's message was full of pathos. He didn't need to actually say: ''This death is so sad.'' To die a lonely death is tragic. To live a lonely life . . . well, let's hope, as Andrew implies, that the rest of us all pass on while laughing too loudly in the company of family and friends.
