A BRIT has died while visiting a "happy ending" massage parlour in Thai party resort Pattaya after a frantic masseuse tried to revive him.

       Robert John Swain, 70, stripped off his clothes and was lying naked on a massage table while masseuse Miss Oraya rubbed oils into his back when she suddenly realised something was wrong.

       Staff tried to revive Robert John Swain after he started gasping for air during the session

       The 39-year-old noticed Mr Swain, who had arrived at the shop on a rented Honda motorcycle this afternoon, started gasping for breath mid-way through the session.

       Panicked Oraya called for help and staff performed CPR on the pensioner - but they were tragically unable to save him.

       Police arrived at the outlet - called Lovely Massage - in the Bang Lamung district at 4pm and cordoned off the scene.

       Mr Swain was pronounced dead before his body was moved to the hospital.

       Oraya said: "This was the first time the man had visited us for a massage.

       "Everything was going normally then I noticed he was sleeping. Suddenly he started struggling to breathe. He was gasping and choking.

       Police are investigating Mr Swain's death and have searched the building.

       Lieutenant colonel Teetat Trunjan, the investigating inspector from Nong Prue Police Station who is handling the case, said: "Officers arrived and kept the unrelated people away from the scene of the incident.

       "They checked that there were no signs of any abuse. There was no identity document found inside.

       "The cause of the death is still unclear. The body must be sent for an autopsy, to summarise the true cause of death further.

       "In the meantime, we are contacting the relatives of the deceased."
