Six people were found dead on Tuesday in an upmarket hotel in downtown Bangkok, police said. The Foreign Ministry said the dead were reported to be two Vietnamese Americans and four Vietnamese nationals.

A senior police officer told AFP the investigation was focusing on a "toxic substance", denying initial reports that the six had been killed in a shooting.
