The preliminary unofficial autopsy results for British tourist Christina Annesley, whose body was found dead inside a bungalow room on Koh Tao, showed no signs of physical violence or sexual abuse, chief of the Institute of Forensic Medicine said on Sunday.
Pol Maj Gen Dr Pornchai Sutheerakhun was speaking after a three-hour autopsy of Annesley at the institute at Police General Hospital in Bangkok to determine the cause of her death.
“The examination found no injury marks or traces of physical assault [to Annesley’s body],” Pol Maj Gen Dr Pornchai said.
The autopsy team could not officially conclude the cause of death yet as they had to wait for the result of toxicology tests, which will not be known until Monday evening at the earliest, he said.
The 23-year-old backpacker was found dead inside a bungalow room at the InTouch Resort on Koh Tao on Wednesday night.
Her death occurred just four months after two young Britons were found murdered on the same beach. In some of the many tweets she posted while on Koh Tao, Annesley had complained of a chest infection. She also said she was taking Tramadol, a powerful painkiller, while drinking.
