The man’s body had been severed in half. The upper part of his body was found beneath the electricity pole, while the lower part was 60m away.
His head remained intact inside his helmet, and his organs — including his heart — were scattered across the scene.
A witness reported that the Russian man had been speeding when he suddenly lost control of the motorcycle, crashed onto the road, and violently collided with the electricity pole.
His body was transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy, and officers are contacting the Russian embassy to notify the man’s family.
The motorcycle is believed to have been a rental, but it is unclear whether the man’s family will be held responsible for the damaged vehicle.
