According to information shared by the Bangkok Post, police confirmed that a 26-year-old Indian tourist died mysteriously after collapsing at a café in Phuket on Saturday morning, while three others remain hospitalized.
Local officials reported that the incident occurred in the Kamala Beach area of Kathu district. Emergency services were called after four foreign tourists collapsed in a popular café. Three were taken to Patong Hospital, and one to Thalang Hospital.
Investigating police visited both hospitals to gather statements from the victims. However, the three young men were unable to provide statements.
