Thailand’s ‘Death Island’ Shrouded in Murders and Mysterious Disappearances as Another Brit Found Dead

Robby Kinlan, a 21-year-old diver from County Clare, Ireland, was tragically found dead in his bed on January 9 while living in Koh Tao, Thailand—a destination nicknamed “death island” due to the number of tourist fatalities there, reported by the Mirror. Preliminary post-mortem results revealed he suffered an acute pulmonary cardiac failure, with further investigations ongoing.

Robby’s mother, Tracy King, described his passing as “very unexpected.” She said, “He was a free diver and a master diver. He went out there on November 20 last year. He got two qualifications in the short time he was there.”

Speaking to the Irish Daily Mail, Tracy shared her heartbreak, stating, “He was in a really good place mentally and his normal self.” Robby had embraced his dream of diving in Thailand, a decision he made spontaneously. “He just walked in one day and said, ‘I am going to Thailand. I have already booked the ticket.’ It’s all he wanted to do. That’s where all the diving was,” she said.

Robby had excelled in his diving pursuits, supporting himself through his qualifications and building a life surrounded by friends in Koh Tao. “He was doing very, very well over there,” Tracy added. Remembering his personality, she said, “His personality was his talent – and I would say to him, ‘Robby, you have to be an actor or a barman,’ or someone who deals with the public in some way.”

Friends and family have set up a fundraiser to bring Robby’s body home to Ireland, which has raised nearly €45,000 (£38,000) as of Wednesday morning. The overwhelming support reflects the deep impact he had on those around him.

Tributes to Robby have highlighted his warmth and selflessness. Friends described him as “the kind of person who lit up every room with his kindness and warmth. He was always the first to help others, putting their needs before his own without a second thought.”

They added, “In Thailand, he was surrounded by many friends and he was living his dream, spending his days doing what he loved—freediving and scuba diving in the place that made him happy.”

Robby’s family and friends remember him as a vibrant and compassionate soul who followed his dreams and left an indelible mark on everyone he met.
