Sad news RIP. The concern is also that the "wife" had to knock on the door(noise), have someone break in (noise), one would then assume talk to the "husband" (noise) and yet when there was no response - went to bed!!!!! No concerns, no attempt to awaken these men? Very strange.

Charlie Milsom was a friend of mine. I pray to God the authorities in Thailand thoroughly investigate this situation. I hope the truth is reveiled and his family and loved ones get some closure. RIP my fiend. Good memories and never forgotten.

A lot of amateur CSI experts here.
The same type that are also ballistics experts, riot control experts and know what every politician is feeling and thinking behind closed doors.

"Police retrieved an empty bottle of a drug rehabilitation medication as well as a packet of pills also used to treat drug addiction. The bottle and the packet of pills belonged to Milsom."
If either men were recovering opiate addicts and on treatment programs then a methadone (or similar drug) overdose is the likely cause of death...

D8: You are right.

D5 and D7: How in the world did you come up with your theories of suicide and intentional poisoning based on the content of this article?

dickemery, Disc 7. Please check out drug related suicides in America. In comparison to Thailand they are enormous. There, the police are also left clueless and most cases are shelved. It also is difficult for them to define between homicide, drug overdose and suicide.
