THAI authorities are reportedly hunting for a woman following the death of an Australian man holidaying in Bangkok last month.

Melbourne man Joshua Edward Beath, 25, was found dead early on Friday July 29 having apparently fallen to his death from his seventh-storey hotel room, The Australian reports.

He was found naked and in a pool of blood by a hotel maid.

Thai police want to speak to the Thai woman he arrived at the hotel with the night before, who had left the hotel by the time police arrived.

CCTV footage from the hotel is being reviewed.

There were no signs of a struggle in the hotel room and nothing to suggest Mr Beath was the victim of a crime, The Australian reports.

An obituary in last Tuesday’s Herald Sun states he ‘died tragically as the result of an accident in Thailand. A piece of our family puzzle has been tragically taken and cannot be replaced. Words cannot describe how Josh touched all our hearts and everybody he met.”

The man’s family is receiving assistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
