(CNN) — Six people, including two Vietnamese Americans, have been found dead inside a luxury hotel room in central Bangkok, with Thai police exploring the possibility that they were poisoned.
The bodies were discovered by staff in a fifth-floor room at the Grand Hyatt hotel, after the guests missed check-out time by more than 24 hours, according to Thiti Saengsawang, Bangkok’s Metropolitan Police commissioner.
Police said the incident didn’t appear to be a robbery, and none of the bodies showed any signs of suffering physical violence. Police also believe “they didn’t harm themselves.”
Police were pictured guarding the entrance of the five-star hotel on Tuesday, after the bodies were discovered.
Last year Sararat Rangsiwuthaporn, a Thai woman who was arrested on suspicion of murdering her friend with cyanide, was charged with at least 13 counts of premeditated murder, in a separate poisoning case that stunned the country.
