Police blame drink, diabetes for death.
CHON BURI : A 48-year-old Russian man was found dead in an apartment in Jomtien early yesterday, police said. Kiporen Igor's body was found with several cuts, apparently caused by a broken mirror, in his condo room on Jomtien Beach Soi 16, police said. Police, however, insisted no traces of struggling or fighting were found. They believed Igor broke the mirror himself. One empty beer bottle was also found in the room, leading police to surmise that Igor, who was diabetic, may have drunk the beer during a diabetic flare-up. This may have caused him to lose his balance and fall on to the mirror. Police also surmised that Igor tried to move around the room after the accident while he was still groggy, which could explain why he had several cuts on his body. Police believe the man had been dead for at least 24 hours before his body was discovered.
