    Capt. Yingyong Chuoykij told the Phuket News that a friend of Talbot's had called for help at about 5:30 a.m. after Shannon said he had chest pain and difficulty breathing.
     
    Yingyong said there were "no signs of robbery or assault” and a doctor at Patong Hospital told the newspaper that doctors had yet to confirm a cause of death.
