Preliminary report finds no signs of foul play in Briton’s death on Koh Tao

No signs of violence or sexual assault were found on the body of a young British traveler who died on Koh Tao last week, according to preliminary results.

Following a three-hour forensic examination of Christina Annesley’s body at Bangkok’s Police General Hospital, Police Maj. Gen. Pornchai Sutheerakhun said there were no indications of foul play, according to Bangkok Post.

What killed the 23-year-old, who was a youth activist with the right-wing UK Independence Party, has yet to be determined, he said, as toxicology test results are not available yet.

She had complained on Twitter of being ill and needing to take antibiotics several days before her death, and according to press reports had also said she was mixing painkiller Tramadol with alcohol.

Annesley’s body was discovered inside a room on Koh Tao this past Wednesday evening. It has made headlines in England not only for her political activity but also because two other young Britons were brutally slain there in September.
