Quang Nam Provincial Police have launched an investigation at the scene and autopsies have been ordered. Preliminary findings reportedly show no signs of scratches or external force on the bodies.
However, several empty bottles of booze were collected from the scene. This tragic incident follows the death of a British tourist in Thailand who suffered a severe reaction after consuming magic mushrooms, reports the Mirror.
It’s alleged that he purchased the hallucinogenic drug on December 20 from a shop in Chiang Mai, a city popular with tourists in the north of the country. After taking the mushrooms back to his hotel room, the holidaymaker is said to have had a severe reaction, during which he was reportedly left foaming at the mouth and shaking.
He passed away shortly afterwards.
A spokesperson from the Foreign Office confirmed: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Meanwhile, local law enforcement swooped in on a cannabis shop called Glory Days, where the Brit is said to have purchased the shrooms, nicking four peeps including the boss.
