Thailand's got a reputation for being a sexual playground, but someone certainly wasn't playing when they ended 25-year old Ronny Ulbrich of Stralsund, Germany. Police were first alerted after one of Ulbrich's many tricks knocked on his door but got no answer. Upon entering the student's apartment, they found his naked body in a cluttered pool of blood, a barbell lying a few feet away. Thailand's The Nation reports:

Police Lieutenant Colonel Sompop Tunpolngam said police suspected that Ulbrich - who had been enrolled in the open university's international programme - was killed by a blow to the head on Wednesday night, following a fight with a male acquaintance. Police also found bloodstain on a doorknob of another room on the same floor, thus would soon interview the room's tenant to see if the tenent was involved in Ulbrich's death or not, the officer said.

Thai police have no leads in Ulbrich's death, but a number of internet-based theories abound. Some range from the believable - a lover or boyfriend murdered him for his alleged HIV positive status - while others border on absurd, such as one that the Russian mafia had it in for the rumored playboy.

Regardless of who killed him or why, it's certainly a distressing story. If you aren't distressed, check out this censored (albeit creepy) picture from the crime scene.
