34-year-old Frenchman Found Dead in Southern Thailand

Authorities believe a 34-year-old French tourist who went missing in Surat Thani province in southern Thailand fell to his death. Last Saturday, a French tourist went missing while looking for his lost drone.

The body of Gollino Cyrit Tizzlano, 34, was discovered at the base of a cliff in the Phanom district of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand.

Surat Thani Governor Wichawut Jinto told Thai media on Thursday that 120 forest officials, rescue workers, and villagers, as well as two sniffer dogs, were deployed in the search for Mr. Tizzlano.

The search was called off at 12:23 p.m. on Thursday when his body was discovered in a bamboo clump at the bottom of a 150-metre-tall cliff about one kilometre away from Wat Tham Phanthurat.

His disappearance was reported to police on Tuesday by the owner of Khao Sok Holiday Resort in Phanom district’s tambon Khlong Sok, where he stayed.

Mr. Tizzlano informed the owner around 10 a.m. on Saturday that he would go trekking in Khao Sok National Park’s jungle.

On Saturday, three villagers saw Mr. Tizzlano flying his drone around Khao Phanthurat mountain, outside the Khao Sok National Park area, before it crashed and vanished.

Mr. Tizzlano is thought to have been in an accident while looking for or operating his drone.

Mr. Tizzlano’s family was expressed condolences by the governor, who promised to improve safety measures for visitors to the province.

Rescuers moved his body to a nearby hospital for a postmortem examination, and authorities notified the French embassy.
