Ukrainian ambassador in Thailand dies on resort island
BANGKOK —The Ukrainian ambassador to Thailand collapsed and died on Sunday while on a resort island with his family, authorities said.
Andrii Beshta, 44, was declared dead on Lipe Island in
southern Satun province, Gov. Ekkarat Leesen told The Associated Press.
Police quoted his teenage son, who was staying in the same
hotel room, as saying his father vomited and fainted early Sunday. He said he
was feeling fine before. Police said they suspect he may have suffered a heart
failure.
Leesen said the body was sent to the police hospital for an
autopsy.
Beshta had assumed the post of ambassador in January 2016.
He is survived by his wife, daughter and two sons, according to a bio on the
embassy's website.
