A Wiltshire man has died following an incident outside a bar in Thailand.
Nick Weir was allegedly beaten to death in a ‘brawl’ with two bouncers in Bangkok.
The 28-year-old, from Salisbury, was pronounced dead – with two men are being questioned by police in the capital.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are providing support to the family of a British man who died in Bangkok and are in contact with the local authorities.”
According to MailOnline, the news website has seen CCTV footage of Mr Weir “sprinting down the street before stopping to speak to the pair and then trying to get on the back of the bike”.
Its report added: “A fight ensued, with the three men grappling before Mr Weir was thrown to the ground.”
Lieutenant Colonel Apichai Hwanjit, Deputy Superintendent of the Bang Pho Police Station, said: ‘According to the CCTV footage, the two of them together restrained the foreigner and they had a physical confrontation.
‘During the scuffle, they pushed and wrestled, causing the foreigner to fall.
‘We are unsure if there was any pressure applied during the fall that caused the death, so we are waiting for the forensic results.
‘After he fell, the security guard nearby called the police. At the scene, the two individuals who fought with the foreigner remained there and did not flee.
‘Currently, we are waiting for the forensic results to determine whether the deceased was intoxicated or under the influence of any substances.
‘It is crucial for the case to ensure clarity. We are waiting for the blood test results to check for drugs or alcohol.
‘From the CCTV footage, he did not appear to be in a typical state of drunkenness.
‘He was running, shouting and causing a commotion, but he wasn’t completely out of control. He ran in a straight line, not stumbling like someone who is drunk.
‘He ran a long distance, nearly a kilometre, starting from the area near the Makro shop, crossing the Phibunsongkhram overpass, and reaching the karaoke bar.’
