The body of an Irish tourist who went missing after a night out drinking has been found in a wastewater treatment pond on the island of Koh Samui.

Police said the body of 24-year-old David Houlihan from Dungarvan in County Waterford was found in the pond Wednesday morning after he had gone missing on his way back to his hotel following a night out drinking with friends at a bar in Bo Phut district on Monday night.

Police suspect he may have fell into the pond as he returned to his hotel, however, at this stage the investigation continues and foul play hasn’t been ruled out.

The Irish embassy have been contacted by local authorities and the body sent for autopsy.
