Mystery over suicide case�s real identity

The real identity of the dead man is a mystery.

BANGKOK: The New Zealand Embassy has appealed for help in identifying a man who committed suicide in a Phuket hotel on June 18 (the previous story can be seen here.

The man, who was found dead in the Phuket Merlin Hotel after apparently swallowing a large number of antihistamine and tranquilizer pills, was initially identified from the hotel register as New Zealander Terrance Hicks.

However, in a release sent to the Gazette on June 27 the New Zealand Embassy stated, �The man gave his name as Terrance Hicks on the hotel registration form, but he gave a false New Zealand address and passport number, and checks of other New Zealand records have found no one fitting his description.

�No other identifying information was found on him apart from his T-shirt logo, which mentioned a pub in Colorado, USA.�

The embassy has asked that anyone who recognizes the man should contact the New Zealand Police Liaison Officer, Mike Bush, at Tel: 02-2539505.
