Swede ‘suicide’ under investigation

1995

Pattaya police are investigating whether an elderly Swedish man who died of an apparent suicide didn’t, in fact, succumb to foul play.

The body of Sten Lundholm, 62, was found shortly after midnight July 6 in his bathroom, his head submerged in a trash can with a bag of golf clubs on top of his head. It was estimated he had been dead about five to six hours.

Waewmanee Luangkratok, an employee at Lundholm’s regular drinking hole, went to find him after he didn’t show up as usual.

Although there were no signs of anything amiss, the odd way in which the body was found prompted suspicion from investigators, who planned to look more closely into the case before officially declaring it a suicide.
