Six people were found dead at an upmarket Bangkok hotel on Tuesday night in what seems to have been a poison plot gone awry.
Two of the victims at the Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel have been confirmed as U.S. nationals. Reuters reports all six were Vietnamese and that the assumed perpetrator is among the dead.
The U.S. State Department said it is monitoring the situation, adding that local police are pursuing inquiries. Meanwhile the Vietnamese foreign ministry has also made contact with Thai authorities, with a spokesperson stating “we hope that the victim’s families soon overcome this great loss.”
