Cyanide Found in Blood of Bangkok Hotel Victims, Suspected Poisoning Over Investment Debt
Initial autopsy results have revealed the presence of cyanide in the blood of the six individuals found deceased in a luxury hotel suite in Bangkok, Thailand, with suspicion pointing towards a case of poisoning over investment debt.
The tragic incident unfolded at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, a prominent hotel located at a bustling intersection in Bangkok, attracting attention and sparking investigations by authorities.
Forensic experts from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand conducted autopsies on the victims, confirming the existence of cyanide in the blood of all six individuals, who comprised a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, and American nationals.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has been brought in to assist Thai authorities in the ongoing investigation, following orders from Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for a swift inquiry into the matter.
Among the deceased were individuals connected to investments in projects in Japan, with reports indicating possible financial disputes and debts amounting to tens of millions in Thai baht.
Previous incidents in Thailand, such as the case involving Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, known as ‘Am Cyanide’, who poisoned multiple victims over financial disagreements, have heightened concerns surrounding this recent tragedy.
