Further tests on sisters' bodies

Bangkok's Ramathibodi Hospital is conducting further tests on the bodies of the two Canadian sisters, who were found dead in their hotel room on Phi Phi Island, off Krabi province, on Friday.

The autopsy results should be ready in a week or two, a doctor said Thursday.

Ramathibodi Hospital is conducting these tests at the request of the Canadian Embassy.

Dr Wichan Pliewnim, chief of the hospital's pathology department, said Thursday that relatives had collected the bodies of Noemi, 26 and Audrey Belanger, 20, on Wednesday, though the hospital is still awaiting toxicity and labtest results.
