Bangkok - A Briton charged with paedophile offences has been found dead at his home in Thailand's popular seaside town of Pattaya after apparently killing himself, police said Saturday.
Nicholas John Rabet, 57, was charged with molesting an underage Thai boy and was on bail pending the start of his trial set for May 29, police said.
"He tied himself with handcuffs and covered his head with a plastic bag. We found a letter describing his intention to kill himself. We believe he committed suicide," said Lieutenant Colonel Aomsin Sukhankha in Pattaya, 70km southeast of Bangkok.
