The Pattaya Police Station was notified of the body at an unspecified time and rushed to the scene along with Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan rescue workers.
There, authorities found the body who they publicly identified as Mr. Harold Jhon Milligan, a 63-year-old British national, lying face down in a state of advanced decomposition. He was wearing a red tank top and brown shorts. There were no signs of injury or struggle on his body. Authorities estimated that he had been dead for about 3 days.
Ms. Patcharapan Pawarespongsakorn, 50, said that she was the caretaker of the foreigner because he was sick and could not walk. He had to use a wheelchair all the time.
Before the incident, Ms. Patcharapan had tried to call and knock on the door for 2 days, but Mr. Milligan did not open the door. On the day of the discovery, Ms. Patcharapan remembered that she went to the back of the condo unit and saw Mr. Milligan’s body through the glass door. She immediately called the security guards and the police.
