WAS it suicide or a murder most foul? After four years, the debate over the death of a politician from one of Thailand's wealthiest families is yet to be buried. Neither has his body. 

Since Sept 8, 1999, two days after he was found shot in the head, the remains of former Bangkok MP Hangthong Thammawattana has been floating in formalin at the Mahathat Temple in Bang Khen.
