Very good video. Be careful out there:

And an article from the toxicologist mentioned in the video:

Keep in mind all these young ladies that have died throughout SE Asia is recent years by mysterious poisonings, were not robbed, nor sexually assaulted, so unless there is a madman running around SE Asia poisoning 20 something women, I thinks its some exotic mix of drugs doing it. If the family is have any idea, they need to have the autopsy done in North America, period.

These seemingly nice and normal young ladies, all could be a tad naive too, and trust people they should not, and use all sorts of drugs that are illegal, and easy to access in SE Asia, especially, the backpacker circuit.

of course then we have the case of those naive young women who went to sleep in their room on Phi Phi and were gassed.

Must have trusted the Guest house owner ... and in Chiang Mai .....

Insecticide used by hotel mamagement? The same speculation as in case of Chiang Mai and doesn't sound convincing.

as for PHI PHI almost certain it was a gas - what it was no one knows. check it out if in doubt Jill St Onge parents have a blog site about it

Cannot discover any definite statements on this blog. Only assumptions. I don't doubt that this cluster of death cases is very suspicious and needs proper investigation but the toxic gas theory sounds questionable

"this cluster of death cases"

What are yout talking about? only 2 people died on the Phi Phi islands. the American and Norwegian Girl. There of course will never be any definitive statements because the autopsy seems to have been botched and then tissue samples not properly preserved.

I am talking about this one and several cases in Chiang Mai

#6: 4 people died on Phi Phi over the past several years. Some 6 or so in Chiang Mai in the same hotel, and near the same time. Hotel owners were notified before the police showed up so the rooms could be cleaned.

Autopsies were never botched...just ignored or rushed to help cover up the evidence.

Lots of cover ups....
