Her brother has just confirmed on Facebook he has seen her and it is her... he’s posted a lovely heartfelt tribute. I am also disgusted by the amount of Asian news sources actually posting pictures of the body on Facebook... absolutely disgusting.
Gets me so bad when someone disappears on holiday. Amelia should be out there living life, not returning home in a coffin.
Have there been any pictures of where " 30 miles off the Cambodian coast" actually is?
Having this information would help us to know if she drowned and tides took her to that location or whether she was abducted and taken by boat to that location.
I just found it odd her clothes wernt left with her bag if she did take a drunken dip
If she was a bit out of it and she got into the shallow water to, for example, float on her back while the tide was going out, she would not notice that she was moving farther away from the shore. She would notice at some point that the tide had moved her quite a distance. If she was not a strong swimmer, or she tried to swim against the tide into the shore, she would have become exhausted and drowned.
I still think going for a swim on your own in the middle of the night would be a strange thing to do - perhaps it's just me but I like to be able to see what's around me. The waters are beautifully clear there by day, but at night would be inky black with little light.
That pretty much how I leaned how to swim in Hawaii , drunk me thought it would be a good idea to lay on my back in the pool, nobody was there, I closed my eyes opened them next thing I know I'm in the deep in, thinking now what do I do?
Sounds reasonable. How does it work? Do people pee in their clothes under water?At the beach parties in Thailand i was in and out the water all the time at night - most people use them as the toilet as they are a better option than the never cleaned toilet huts that are attached to beach bars
According to media, Amelia was found in the clothes she had been wearing at the party. So it is presumed she went swimming with her clothes on but without her bag.I went snorkeling alone off one of the Greek Islands without realizing that the tide was going out. When I looked up, I was miles from where I started. It seemed like it happened very quickly. A strong swimmer, I headed back to the beach - arriving about 5-6 hours after I left. Everyone assumed that I had drowned. Staying calm and focused is the way to survive that situation.
If this is what happened to Amelia, where she was in the water and unaware that the tide was going out, alcohol and night darkness would have made it very difficult for her to find her way back to shore. She would have removed her clothing to make it easier to swim, so even if she was found without clothing it can't be concluded that someone else removed her clothing. Furthermore, the ocean would have removed all DNA, and minor injuries to her body could have been caused by being in the water for a week.

Good research on the tides and the possible timing of her swim. Though an autopsy is still needed, your research does support the death being an accidental drowning of an intoxicated victim.It sounds like she put her bag on the rock and got into the water. High tide was at 5:16AM. Although her last photos to family were at 3:23AM, making that the last confirmed contact with family, that doesn't mean she vanished at that time. If she went into the water at 5:30AM, when there was "very high activity" ocean current pulling away from the Island, she could have been in trouble very quickly.
