According to preliminary investigations by Ao Nang Police, the fatal injury appeared to result from broken glass, with no evidence of struggle or theft found at the scene. The American national had checked into the resort alone on November 13th, and the resort owner indicated he had been dealing with depression. A witness reported seeing Thomas returning to his room alone after midnight following a drinking session.
