Smith Peter Derick, 76, was found dead in his rented house in Pattaya after falling in his bathroom.
There were no signs of physical assault but the body of the British man was transferred for the usual autopsy, police said yesterday.
According to his friends, Derick rented the house nearly nine months ago. Paralysed on the right side of his body, he seldom left home but usually welcomed visits by a friend living nearby.
On Saturday night, he slipped in the bathroom but told his friend that he was alright and would not seek medical attention. The neighbour found him dead on his bed the next morning.
