Shock! Human remains found in temple urn - but these are no ashes!

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Police were called to a temple in Samut Prakarn after human remains were found in a damaged stupa used as reliquary for human remains.

 

But what a building contractor found were not ashes but a skull and twenty other bones stuffed in a cloth.

 

No attempt had been made to cremate them.

 

There had been an accident during construction of a roadway at the temple of Wat Thong Ram Phai in Laem Fa Pha sub-district. A wheel came off a truck carrying sand and smashed into the stupa revealing the dark secret.

 

Police were called for an inspection and decided that the remains were probably very old. They could have been someone washed up on the seashore and put there because there were no relatives.

 

Still, they told the temple to keep the remains for 90 days in case some missing person file could be closed.

 

After that the temple will dispose of them according to Buddhist ritual.

No attempt by the police to identify them ?   Could have been murder or a sick black magic ritual .... 

To  much hard work for the police investigators ( what investigators ? )  so case closed . Perhaps there are more human remains hidden there. The temple must have records

The investigation was conducted,  "could have been someone washed up on the seashore" lol

I'd be curious to know what is in all the OTHER urns. 

A tyre came off a truck.

Never mind that someone could have been killed, lets worry about the dead person !

No kidding. Why not take DNA samples, if still possible?

So, how many more dark secrets are there at Wat Thong Ram Phai? Or was the accident, smashing that particular stupa, just a lucky hit?
