The report said that every- thing-including the wound and the weapon-indicated that it had been art accident. Also, the arrangement of the house guards made it impossible for any intruder to enter the King's apartment.
Loyalists said the 20-year-old King had been in good spirits the day before his death. Other Siamese, recalling reports of the King's ill-health, have expressed their belief that he took his own life.
A few people whisper that the King was murdered. These rumours variously necused Re- volutionaries who deposed the late King Prajadhipok and Royalists who feared Ananda's democratic sympathies, Asso-
