Thirty-eight-year-old Andrew Apperley from Eastbourne, Sussex, was on holiday in Thailand, attending Full Moon Party at the island of Ko Phagen when he started sending messages to his family and friends that people were out to kill him.
He sent the messages in the early hours of February 13, and talked of a 'scary guy with the face mask', among others.

He was reported missing four days later after not returning to his hotel at nearby island Koh Samui and the police have since found and identified his body.

In a string of messages to different people, the father of one also talks about mushrooms.
In another group of messages obtained by The Mirror, he also suggests that he may have been spiked, with his statements not seeming to make much sense.
Andrew's brother, Richard, posted the messages he was sent.

Richard has said that he thinks his brother was murdered.
"I think he's been murdered. Those messages are signs that there was foul play," he said.
"I want the Thai police to investigate this properly and I don't want it swept under the carpet.
"He knew Thailand well - he'd been around 10 times and the people he was with say he was in good spirits out there, just trying to have a good time.
"He did take drugs but he didn't go overboard and he knew how to take care of himself. You can see from the messages that he knew he'd been spiked and that he was in danger."
