James Louis Hutson, 57, was found dead inside his room at the Nana Backpacker Hotel in Vang Viang on November 13.

According to the Vientiane Times, workers at the hostel had entered his room after realizing he had not left all day and found him unconscious.

The outlet reported that he was taken to hospital, with police finding four empty bottles of beer and two empty bottles of vodka in his room.

Hutson is one of six who have died in the suspected mass methanol poisoning that has hit the party town.
