Authorities have released the alleged last photo of a woman believed to be a Belgian backpacker who died at a Thai resort area in April.

Elise Dallemagne, 30, was found hanged on Koh Tao island on April 28, 2017, local reports say—police said that she killed herself.

A grainy security camera shot shows a woman’s back as she is walking down a path, approximately 200 meters from where the body was found, 9News.com.au reported.

Dallemagne’s mother, Michele van Egten, disputed claims made by local Thai authorities that she killed herself, saying she was instead murdered.

The woman in the image, she added, appears to be “too big” to be Elise. “That’s not Elise’s silhouette—she was much slimmer, that’s not the way she was walking,” she was quoted as saying.
