ME News reports that on May 26 (UTC+8), local volunteers in Thailand discovered the remains of Maxim Garbuzov, a Russian crypto investor who went missing in Pattaya last December, in a mass grave for unidentified foreign bodies in Bangkok. Garbuzov disappeared after leaving his Pattaya residence on December 24, 2025, and search efforts lasted nearly five months. Volunteers stated that the cause of death was a fall from his hotel room. Thai police failed to locate the body due to a spelling error, resulting in it being sent to the mass grave. The family is now working to have the remains exhumed, cremated, and transported to Saint Petersburg. Garbuzov had lived in Thailand for approximately two and a half years, primarily engaged in crypto investments and exchange trading, on a sports visa, and maintained a relatively isolated lifestyle.
