An Indian tourist died on Kalim Beach in Phuket this morning, March 12, right after having breakfast. The cause of his mysterious death remains under investigation.
A hotel worker found the Indian man, 44 year old Gaurav Sethi, lying face down on the beach outside the accommodation at about 9am. The worker then informed Sethi’s wife, Vartika Bassi, and contacted Patong Police Station to investigate.
According to Khao Phuket, Sethi was found near a traffic barrier separating the beach from the road. Police reported no visible injuries or signs of physical assault at the scene.
Bassi told police the couple checked into the hotel at 3am today and planned to stay until March 15. She said her husband had breakfast at the hotel at about 8am and reportedly showed no symptoms beforehand.
Sethi’s body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy. Police also notified the Indian Embassy to coordinate further procedures.
