A shocking discovery unfolded in Sisaket after a patient, who had gone missing from a local hospital, was found dead in the backseat of a nurse’s car. The incident occurred on October 21, when relatives of the patient had been frantically searching for her after she disappeared from the hospital. At around 18:00, Lieutenant Ek Saengphet, Deputy Inspector of Investigation at Mueang Sisaket Police Station, received a report of a body found inside a black Honda Jazz car with the license plate from Ubon Ratchathani.” The car was parked on Ubon Road in Mueang Tai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Sisaket Province. The deceased, identified as 53-year-old Ms. Bunthita Sirikul, was discovered in the backseat of the car. It was revealed that the car did not belong to her or her relatives but was owned by Ms. Nantawadee, a nurse at Sisaket Hospital. Ms. Nantawadee explained that she had driven the car to the hospital that morning and parked it near the hospital entrance before starting her shift. Upon returning to her car at around 18:00, she discovered the body inside. She stated that she had no connection to the deceased and had never seen her before. Nantawadee believes that in her haste to enter the hospital, she may have forgotten to lock her car, allowing the woman to enter and pass away unnoticed. The family of the deceased explained that Ms. Bunthita had been suffering from brain atrophy for over two years. On the day of her disappearance, she had been at the hospital for a doctor’s appointment accompanied by her relatives. However, she vanished when her family momentarily left her alone to use the restroom. After an extensive search, they reported her missing to the local police station, but tragically, she was found deceased later that evening. While the family is not suspicious of foul play, the authorities have taken preliminary witness statements and collected evidence from the scene. An investigative team will further inspect the area to gather more details before concluding the case. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-22

A homeowner in Pathum Thani was alerted to an unusual and alarming intruder by her two cats on the night of October 20. The Volunteer Radio Centre of the Pathum Thani Snake Association was called in to remove an Asian water monitor found in a toilet bowl at a residence in a housing estate near Khlong 2, Soi Bongkot 14, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani. When rescue officers arrived, they found the water monitor’s head poking out of the toilet. Using reptile-catching tools, a rescue officer safely pulled out the lizard, which was roughly the size of a child’s arm, bringing relief to the worried homeowners. Mrs. Bong-on, 64, the homeowner, recounted the incident, saying it started around 21.00 when she heard strange noises coming from the bathroom. Her two cats fled the area with distressed expressions, prompting her daughter to investigate. To their shock, they found the water monitor’s head emerging from the toilet. Acting quickly, they shut the bathroom door and called for help. “We are so grateful to the rescue team for handling this,” Mrs. Bong-on said. “We were terrified. This is the second time an animal has come into our home through the pipes, though the first time was a snake, which my children managed to catch themselves.” After removing the lizard, the rescue team installed traps to prevent future incidents. The team advised the family to remain vigilant, particularly in checking pipes and closing bathroom doors to avoid such encounters. Volunteer officer Mr. Montien Nakprasert of the Pathum Thani Snake Association emphasised that homeowners should call professionals if they encounter dangerous reptiles, as handling them without proper experience could lead to injuries. The incident serves as a reminder of a previous shocking case in Bangkok, where a man was bitten by a python while sitting on a toilet, underscoring the potential risks of unexpected wildlife encounters in homes.
