Canadian-born Alexandre Cazes, 26, was arrested by Thai authorities on July 5 at the request of U.S. authorities, according the Morning Herald. Known online as DeSnake, Cazes was found last week dead in his cell at the Thai Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) in Laksi district of Bangkok.

The Bangkok Post reports Cazes was discovered in the bathroom of his cell hanging from a towel. The NSB’s Major General Soontorn Chalermkiat told the paper there are “no clues that suggest he didn’t hang himself.” Cazes was reportedly set to meet with an attorney about his extradition to the U.S. on drug trafficking charges an hour before his reported suicide. Another Thai official, Maj. Gen. Chayapote Hasoonha, told the Bangkok Post Cazes had been living in Thailand for about eight years and had a Thai wife. The official added Caze’s spouse has been charged with money laundering.

“He was a computer expert involved with international transactions of bitcoins,” Chalermkiat told Agence France-Presse. “He didn’t have any business in Thailand but he had many houses.” The Bangkok paper said he also had four Lamborghini sports cars in Thailand.

Cazes’ father, Martin, told Journal de Montreal his son was “an extraordinary young man, with no history, no judicial record. He never smoked a cigarette, never used drugs.”

Neither the Canadian nor U.S. Embassies in Thailand responded to the Post’s request for further detail on Cazes’ arrest, extradition and reported death.
