A young Australian man has been found dead in a hotel in Thailand as police discover a series of illicit substances in his room. 

Emergency services rushed to the hotel on Soi Ta-iad in Phuket about 2.30pm on Wednesday after staff discovered the 36-year-old man motionless on his bed.

Police found no signs of assault on the man’s body and are not treating his death as suspicious, local media outlet Thaiger reports. 

It’s understood detectives discovered several substances in the man’s hotel room, including Viagra, sleeping pills, marijuana, and alcohol. 

Police and a forensic doctor have suggested they may have contributed to the cause of death, though further testing is underway. 

The man was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Local Chalong Police have informed the Australian Embassy. 

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade told the Daily Mail it is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Phuket. 

‘We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time,’ they said.

‘Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment.’

Consular assistance may include support and guidance to families and liaising with local and Australian authorities to assist with funeral arrangements or repatriation of remains.

The investigation is ongoing, with police awaiting toxicology results, questioning employees at the hotel and reviewing CCTV footage from the property.
