An elderly Norwegian drowned off Jomtien Beach after a day of drinking and sunbathing.
The lifeless body of Leif Anders Lonvik, 68, was pulled ashore at Dongtan Beach April 5. Efforts at CPR failed.
Police said witnesses reported that Lonvik was a common visitor to the beach and would spend his days drinking beer and sunbathing. No one apparently thought anything of it when he went for a swim.
Police speculated Lonvik was drunk and drowned, but the body was sent to the Forensics Institute for more-scientific determination.
