美国国务院表示，一名美国外交官在缅甸最大城市被发现身亡，驻仰光外交界人士称，一名泰国女子因与该调查有关联被警方拘留。
驻泰国的美国官员和美国驻缅甸大使馆将该案件的相关问题交由国务院回应，国务院证实了“一名被分配到仰光大使馆的美国政府雇员死亡”，但未透露其他细节。
国务院在回复美联社记者提问的电子邮件中表示：“出于对家属和亲友隐私的尊重，我们目前无法提供更多信息。”
据三名不愿具名的缅甸外交界人士透露，由于未经授权不得讨论该案件，他们表示这名男子大约两周前在樱花公寓酒店（Sakura Residence & Hotel）被发现身亡。该酒店提供长期租住服务，深受外交官、商界人士和其他国际游客欢迎，距离美国大使馆约1英里。
他们称，警方将此案视为可能的谋杀案，并已拘留一名泰国女子。
缅甸前身为缅甸联邦，目前正陷入军方主导的政府与由该国少数民族组织和亲民主派力量组成的各类民兵组织之间的冲突。2021年，缅甸军方推翻了民选领导人昂山素季。
缅甸当局通常极少向媒体透露信息，负责樱花酒店所在辖区的警局值班人员在接听美联社记者电话时拒绝置评，并挂断了电话。
樱花酒店的经理也拒绝置评。
泰国驻仰光大使馆和泰国外交部同样拒绝透露是否已向涉案嫌疑人提供领事协助，也未透露任何其他相关信息。
American diplomat found dead in Myanmar; woman detained by police

An American diplomat was found dead in Myanmar’s largest city, the U.S. State Department said, and members of the diplomatic community in Yangon say a Thai woman has been detained by police in connection with the investigation.
American officials in Thailand and the U.S. Embassy in Myanmar referred questions on the case to the State Department, which confirmed the “death of a U.S. government employee” assigned to the embassy in Yangon but gave no other details.
“Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones, we have no further information to provide at this time,” the State Department said in an e-mailed reply to questions from The Associated Press.
According to three people in the diplomatic community in Myanmar, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, the man was found dead about two weeks ago at the Sakura Residence & Hotel. The facility, with long-term rentals, is popular with diplomats, business people and other international visitors, and is located about 1 mile from the American Embassy.
They said police are treating the case as a possible homicide and have a Thai woman in custody.
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is embroiled in fighting between the country’s military-led government, which ousted democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021, and a disparate group of militias organized by the country’s ethnic minority groups and pro-democracy forces.
Authorities typically give little information to the media, and the duty officer answering the phone at the station responsible for the area where the Sakura hotel is located refused to comment and hung up on an AP reporter.
The manager of the Sakura hotel also declined to comment.
The Thai Embassy in Yangon and Thailand’s Foreign Ministry also refused to say whether they had provided consular support to the suspect or give any other information.
