Police lieutenant colonel Thanom Thongpaen, from Thalang Police District, said he saw Akkouch lying on with a mobile phone resting on his chest. “He was still on a call with someone,” he said. “The line hadn’t been disconnected and he had died like that. There were no signs of struggle or anything suspicious. “It appeared he had been on the call for about 12 hours. The phone screen had gone dark, but we could still see the call duration and confirm he was on a call. “We don’t know who he was talking to. I tried speaking into the phone, but there was no response. The line remained active, but there was no voice on the other end. The phone was locked, so we couldn’t examine it further.” Thongpaen said there were no drugs or alcohol at the scene, but there were about “10 pills in blister packs” of over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication.

Akkouch was just one day away from flying home after spending several days holidaying in Thailand with friends. He had checked into the hotel just three days earlier, on July 20, and was due to check out on July 24. Akkouch was from western Sydney.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it is “providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Thailand”. “Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment,” a DFAT spokesperson said. Investigations in Akkouch’s death continue. Officers from Thalong Police Station are investigating the incident. Credit: Phuket News Kevin Steven Correll found dead while holidaying in Thailand.
