A British tourist has been found dead in a swimming pool on the same island where two backpackers from the UK were stabbed to death.

It is the same island where David Miller and Hannah Witheridge were killed by two Burmese men in 2014.

His death comes just days after he told friends and family on Facebook that he was 'living the dream' in Asia. 
He wrote: 'Can honestly say this new year I am living the dream of to the full moon party on a speed boat drink cocktails strawberry daiquiris living life to the full yolo so let's do this.' 
Mr Miller flew to Thailand with a friend from the Isle of Wight on December 22 for a five-week holiday, according to The Telegraph.

Joanne Doe wrote: 'To think we were enjoying your photos seeing you live the holiday of a lifetime. This is such a shock. Will never forget that mental Christmas party at ours! 
'At least you were living life to the full. Thoughts are with your family right now and Erin Laird xxxx RIP Luke Miller.'

A Foreign Office spokesman said: 'We are providing assistance to the family of a British national who has died in Koh Tao, Thailand. Local authorities are investigating the death and we will remain in contact with them.' 
Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Tun were sentenced to death for the killing of British backpackers Miss Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, whose battered bodies were found on a beach in 2014. 
Miss Witheridge, a University of Essex student from Hemsby, Norfolk, and Mr Miller, of Jersey, who had just completed a civil and structural engineering degree at the University of Leeds, met on Koh Tao while staying at the same hotel.
A cleaner heading home in the early hours of the morning of September 15, 2014, came across their battered bodies on Sairee Beach.
Ms Witheridge had been savagely raped and beaten to death and Mr Miller had been beaten unconscious and left to drown in the incoming tide.

The case has cast a light on not only Thailand's deceptive image as destination of relaxation and safety, but also potential flaws in its judicial system, where the death sentence is regularly handed down for minor drug offences and corruption among authorities remains a c
