Not to be insensitive, but I definitely want to go to Thailand now.
A BRITISH backpacker who collapsed on a train in Thailand may have died from 'excitement', say medical experts.
Algernon Lendrum, 19, suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2008 while on a 14-hour over night train to Bangkok.
The teenage traveller from Stove in England keeled over when a rare undiagnosed congenital weakness caused a blood vessel in his brain to burst, reports the UK's Daily Telegraph.
Pathologist Dr Peter Wilkins, who discovered the burst aneurism, said the symptom is "often associated with excitement or stress, such as railway journeys or changing trains."
