    The US agency is assisting in the case as two of the six guests found dead at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok hotel were US citizens.

    Am I crazy for thinking this is odd? Lots of Americans die abroad without the FBI getting involved.

        I’d say that you’re right - most Americans that die abroad are not members of groups poisoned in hotel rooms.

        But it also doesn’t appear at first glance like these folks were targeted because they were US citizens.

      They were probably rich (as stayed in a 5 star hotel) and might have some family connections to pull some strings
