The investigation follows Songyot's report, where he mentioned frequently interacting with We, who had a congenital disease. Her son, Somsak, suspects foul play linked to We’s romantic involvement with a local man. Somsak recalled an incident where he stopped a man from assaulting We while she was intoxicated, suggesting possible motive for foul play.

CCTV footage offers a glimpse into the hours before her death, showing We at a table outside her home, appearing heavily intoxicated. Despite Somsak’s concerns, initial police examinations revealed no signs of assault, apart from mild scratches. Authorities are awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death and gather additional evidence.
