An American man found dead in his Naklua condo on Loy Krathong is believed to have died of natural causes.
The body of Gregory Scott Grinstead, 67, was found fully clothed and sitting up, a pillow on his lap, inside his Ocean View 1 room Nov. 6. There were no signs of foul play in the Naklua Road apartment.
Police had been contacted by telephone from Chumphon province by Grinstead’s girlfriend of four years. She said she called him every day to check in on the elderly man and, on Loy Krathong, she didn’t get any answer and got worried. She also contacted an Australian friend of the Oklahoma man to meet police at the condo.
Police suspect a heart attack or other natural causes for the death, but sent the body for autopsy.
