American tourist trampled to death by elephants in Thailand
THAI police say an American tourist has died after apparently being trampled to death by elephants in a national park.
The US Embassy in Bangkok confirmed the death, but gave no details.
Police Col. Woradet Suanklaai said the woman went missing on January 13 in Kaeng Krachan National Park in the weste province of Petchaburi.
He said searchers found her battered body in the woods five days later, and it was likely she had been trampled by elephants because of the severe injuries.
Col. Woradet said the woman was travelling alone.
He said police have sent the body to a forensic institute in Bangkok to determine the cause of death.
