UK tourist found dead in Thailand consumed Valium, alcohol: police

BANGKOK (AFP) - A British backpacker who was found dead on a popular Thai tourist island had consumed a potentially fatal combination of alcohol and Valium, police said Tuesday citing preliminary autopsy data.

The body of Christina Annesley, 23, was discovered in a bungalow on Koh Tao, southern Thailand, last Wednesday.
"The initial results from the autopsy found Valium and alcohol in the victim's body," Thai police spokesman Lieutenant General Prawut Thavornsiri, told AFP.
"There were no signs of rape," he added, saying the full autopsy results would be released within three days.
Annesley's death came four months after a British couple were found murdered on the same island in a case that placed local police under intense pressure.
