Lieutenant Colonel Chanan Mekchai confirmed that there were no visible wounds on Mr Lee’s body.
Mr Lee’s wife, who was present at the scene, stated that she does not suspect foul play as her husband had pre-existing health conditions.
She explained that he led a sedentary lifestyle and did not get adequate rest.
On the day of the incident, Mr Lee drank beer, as he often did, and after receiving a 45-minute oil massage, he began snoring before becoming unresponsive.
His wife declined an autopsy and requested that his body be repatriated to Singapore for religious ceremonies.
According to Khaosod English, his body was repatriated on Sunday (8 Dec).
