Officers from Khlong Luang Police Station were alerted to the fatal collision and attended the scene with forensic doctors from Thammasat University Hospital and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. The incident occurred on the railway tracks near Khlong Chiang Rak in Moo 18, Khlong Nueng subdistrict.
At the scene, authorities found a severed right leg on the railway track along with a blue shirt. Parts of skull and brain matter was also discovered in the area. However, the victim’s torso and other body parts had not been located.
Investigators said the search was complicated by dense, overgrown grass and water, beneath the railway bridge. A pair of black shoes was found on the bridge, together with a bottle of water, which may assist with the investigation.

Upon arrival, they confirmed the presence of the severed limb and other small human remains.
Authorities have not yet determined whether the deceased was male or female. Rescue workers have been tasked with conducting a thorough search of the surrounding area in an effort to locate additional remain parts.
Police and forensic specialists are also working to establish the identity of the victim. Further examination and evidence collection will be required before investigators can determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
