A Nottingham man who had been arrested over the death of his Thai wife has died in Thailand, it has been confirmed.
Kevin Smitham had been taken into custody following the death of his wife Kanda in April last year. At the time he was 51 and she was 29.
He was arrested after his wife's body was discovered on Sunday, April 15, 2018.
Now the Foreign & Commonwealth Office has confirmed that he died four months after his arrest.
An FCO spokesperson said: “Our staff are providing ongoing support and advice to the family of a British man who died in Thailand in August 2018, and they remain in touch with the local authorities.”
It is understood he died while he was in prison awaiting trial over his wife's death.
Nottinghamshire Live reported in April last year that Mr Smitham had been arrested.
Inspector General Watcharapol Pimwong, Deputy Chief of Staff in the Det Udom district, said at the time that Smitham had been arrested and was in custody.
Kanda Smitham worked for US-based Herbalife Nutrition and ran a fitness page on Facebook called 'I'm Fit Mum' which had more than 27,000 followers.
The couple are believed to have had two children.
