A Swedish man who called his country’s embassy with a suicide threat appears to have followed through after Banglamung police found him dead with a plastic bag tied over his head in Naklua.

Swedish authorities called police to respond to the Phophiang Apartments on Naklua Soi 15 July 11. In a second-story room they found the naked corpse of David Cavallin, 43, lying face up in bed with a bag tied over his head with a piece of cloth.

There were no signs of any struggle and, next to the body, was the telephone he used to call the embassy.

Nearby shop owner Nit Jaikhong, 48, said Cavallin had been an outgoing person who liked barefoot strolls around town.

Police planned to contact the embassy for more information in their investigation.
