Seems he stabbed a prison guard too whilst escaping custody....

Helmus has passed away after 9 days in coma but his Thai GF has survived

A prison guard plus countless other lives he's wrecked. Good riddance. I've zero sympathy for anybody caught smuggling, dealing transporting drugs over there. They know the consequences yet continue.

Those TV shows about being banged up abroad always portrays them as somewhat pitiful. "I needed some cash to get home so I agreed to smuggle some heroin into....' Like I say, the less of them the better.

He was facing the death penalty, quite rightly!, so he obviously took the easy way out.... unfortunately he has damaged the lives of so many others along the way!
