Six dead found in Bangkok hotel room, probably poisoned

Bangkok –

Six foreign nationals were found dead in a luxury hotel room in central Bangkok on Tuesday, Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said, with police suspecting they were poisoned.

“There was no sign of a struggle,” Srettha told a news conference at the Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel in the upscale Pathum Wan district, where the incident took place.

“We have to do an autopsy to see if they ingested anything,” he said, dispelling rumors that the deaths were linked to a robbery and a shooting.
