Mystery as Brit tourist’s naked body is found in the sea off a Thai beach as CCTV reveals his final moments
A HEARTBROKEN family are searching for answers after the body of a young Brit tourist was found in the sea by a Thai beach.
Regan Kelly, 28, had just arrived in Thailand for a month-long trip before he went missing on January 3.
He was last seen in CCTV footage at the bar of the Mad Monkey Hostel - where he was staying.
Footage shows him talking to a man for hours before the conversation got "increasingly heated," his family said.
Regan's sister Laurie Blackall told MailOnline: "We are not too sure what they were talking about, but the conversation seemed a bit confrontational.
"There's no audio but Regan looked visibly upset."
She added that her brother got up and left suddenly where he heads towards Patong beach, before the man follows him a mere few seconds later.
Security cam footage from a hotel then shows Regan running, with the unknown man following him nearly 20 seconds later, Laurie said.
At 10am the following day, a watersports instructor had found a naked body in the water off Patong.
Cops sent photos to Regan's worried family, who had reported him missing, and his identity was tragically confirmed.

Laurie and her dad are in Thailand attempting to find out what happened to Regan in his final hours, and what he had spoken about with the unknown man.
He is thought to be the last person to have seen him alive.
The grieving family are desperately trying to get Regan home, launching a giving page to help bring his body back to the UK to allow a second post mortem to be carried out.
Laurie said: "The detective said he has worked tirelessly but I just don't know if they want to make it out like it was a tragic accident.
"Don't get me wrong, it could have been an accident, but something is really not sitting right with me."
