TNews reported that a 68 year old former businessman from Nong Khai was found naked on the floor in an Udon Thai hotel room yesterday.

 

Staff at the hotel in Mark Khaeng sub-district were shocked, they said, to find Piya Cheunchutham, 68, with his fists clenched and his eyes wide open.

 

They covered him in a sheet before police and medics arrived.

 

On the bed and chair was a phone, a packet of medicine and vitamins in a bottle.

 

In a wallet was 2,700 baht and Thai ID. In a travel bag was a passport and 60,000 baht in 1000 baht notes.

 

The hotel manager said that he had rented a room there for 180 baht a day for the past six months or more. He kept himself to himself and money was brought to him by his children who worked in another province.

 

He understood that he was in town for medical reasons. If he went anywhere it was in a sam lor (three wheeler).

 

He said that he heard coughing in the night but thought nothing of it. In the morning on Monday he went to inquire if he wanted breakfast as usual and there was no reply.

 

After looking in a window and seeing him on the floor he broke the door down then called the authorities.

 

Police are not treating the matter as suspicious saying the man had a medical condition and was having treatment in Udon.

Feel sorry for guy that his photo and name are plastered on the media.  Appears natural causes and can't see how this is news worthy.  

 

The curling up of the fingers into a fist like position is quite natural in death, muscles retracting same with the eyes.

 

May he RIP and media have taken some dignity from him.

RIP. nobody needs photos. 

180 baht a day?

Perhaps his business was living frugal, and business (until recently) was good.
