A British diving instructor has been found dead at his bungalow on tourist hotspot ‘Death Island’.
Neil Giblin’s body was discovered in his bungalow on the island of Koh Tao in Thailand on Wednesday after two female clients flagged that he had not turned up for work.
The fit and healthy 48-year-old from Birmingham is believed to be the fifth diving instructor to die on the tourist hotspot, where diving is a lucrative business, in recent years.
Police say Mr Giblin died of natural causes with no sign of struggle.
But friends have raised concerns amid a series of unexplained deaths of tourists on Koh Tao, which has been dubbed Death Island.
A friend of Neil’s told the Sun: “I don’t even think they did an autopsy. This just doesn’t add up to me.”
It comes after a British pensioner was killed following an altercation at a junction in the south of Thailand earlier this month.
A property developer has admitted shooting dead Neil Roger, 70, who bled to death on the road after he was blasted four times in Pattaya.
He had been riding home on his moped after meeting friends at a pub on Thursday evening when he and Apicha Boonsawat, 32, clashed in the heated road rage row.
Boonsawat was arrested and has since admitted shooting the man but says he was provoked by Mr Roger “banging on his car”.
Paramedics performed CPR at the scene of the gunning but were unable to revive the retired civil engineer, who is originally from Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Harrowing CCTV footage from the scene showed a car overtaking Mr Roger before coming to a halt right in front of him.
The chilling footage then caught a figure emerging from the vehicle and shooting Mr Roger, killing him instantly, before jumping back into the vehicle and fleeing the scene. He had lived in Thailand for 20 years.
