Summary
Forensic tests are pending after Connor Murphy, 32, drowned in a Samut Prakan lake on July 7 and police later found his rented luxury villa heavily damaged.
Witnesses said the American fitness influencer had been acting erratically, argued with a security guard, then swam for several minutes before losing strength in water more than 10 meters deep.
Video from the home showed black tar-like residue across kitchen appliances, paint streaked on walls and ceilings, and overflowing trash; Murphy's girlfriend told police the damage appeared overnight while she slept in another room.
Divers recovered Murphy about 20 meters from shore after a 30-minute search, and police said an initial examination found no visible signs of assault.
Autopsy and toxicology results are still pending as investigators examine the death of Murphy, who had more than 2.7 million followers across YouTube and Instagram.
