German assault suspect found dead in Thailand home

A 41-year-old German man was found dead in his home in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Matthias Ebner had been arrested earlier this week for assaulting female dentists at local clinics. His body was discovered late Friday night with severe wounds to his neck. A knife was found on the bed, and police believe he may have taken his own life. Police and rescue workers arrived to find Ebner's body lying on a bed. There was blood on the bed and a knife with a 25 cm blade under him. Two Rottweiler dogs were guarding the body. When his wife could not reach him, she asked a friend to check on him, leading to the discovery of the body. Police reported that there were no signs of a struggle in the house. Forensic officers found fingerprints on the knife belonging to Ebner. Investigators suggested that stress and mental illness could have contributed to his death. His wife had indicated that he was not taking medication for his mental health issues. Ebner had been arrested on March 18 for multiple assaults against dentists and damage to clinics since November. Police intended to revoke his visa due to his aggressive behavior, which they felt posed a risk to public safety.
