A retired American teacher died after suffering an
apparent heart attack in his North Pattaya apartment.
The body of Walter Carl Bolf, 79, was found July 23
lying in bed at the Pattaya Tower Condominium on Soi 4. There were no
signs of any assault or robbery.
Pimolrith Kanchanodilok, Bolf’s driver, told police
the American had been living in Thailand for 19 years and until recently
had been volunteering at a Redemptorist school, teaching English.
However, Pimolrith said, Bolf had resigned from that
job due to a heart condition. Police speculated a heart attack killed
him, but sent the body to the Forensics Institute for final
determination.
