A 76-year-old American man was found dead earlier this week inside a house in Tak province.
Police identified the foreigner as Paul Milford Muller. Muller was an author and a former official at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Jet Propulsion Lab.
Pol Col Ekarat Intasueb, chief of Mae Sot police station, reported that Muller was discovered with a rope tied around his waist and genitals. There was another rope tied around his neck, which had been hung from a knob on his bedroom door. Paraphernalia for injecting crystal methamphetamine, five methamphetamine pills and several sex toys were also discovered in the room.
Police said there were no signs of assault, the Bangkok Post reported.
