PHUKET — A 64-year-old South Korean tourist was found dead inside a sauna room at a luxury spa in Phuket, Thailand.
Police officers from Wichit Police Station in Phuket were notified of the death and promptly arrived at the scene accompanied by forensic doctors from Vachira Phuket Hospital and staff from the Kusoldharm Phuket Foundation.
At the scene, authorities discovered the body of Mr. Park, 64, lying on the floor in front of the sauna room. Red rashes were visible on his back and the back of his head.
According to Ms. Aroonee, Mr. Park’s wife, she had visited the spa on Saturday evening with her husband and his two sisters. While the women opted for traditional Thai massage services, Mr. Park went alone to use the sauna facilities.
At approximately 5:22 PM, Mr. David, a British tourist, entered the sauna and found the Korean man unconscious inside. He immediately alerted staff members, who attempted CPR and called for police and emergency services. Despite these efforts, they were unable to revive Mr. Park.
Officials subsequently transported Mr. Park’s body to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a detailed autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Authorities are also gathering information about Mr. Park’s medical history from his family members.
