Weight-loss pills believed to be behind teacher’s death

By The Nation

 

 

A teacher was found dead in a bedroom in her father’s home on Wednesday after allegedly taking a dose of weight-loss pills, police said.

 

Chalida Watanasin, 32, was found dead at 8.45am after her father noticed she had not got up. 

 

Chalida, who taught at a private school, was visiting her father Somkiart and her son in Trang’s Muang district. 

 

A doctor, who inspected the body, said there was no trace of injury though there were traces of foam at the mouth. The doctor believed Chalida had died about six to eight hours earlier. 

 

Three packs of weight-loss pills were found in the room, with two pills missing. The doctor believes she took the pills before going to bed and succumbed to heart failure. 

 

Chalida’s friend Janthima Chunyong, 34, told police that Chalida had bought the pills on April 5.

 

The body has been sent for autopsy at the Songkla Nagarind Hospital in Songkhla’s Hat Yai district.

Rip young lady.

 

Even more tragic, if it's found to be true, that the "diet pills" were the cause.  The waif "look skinny" and "look tiny as possible", is more and more popular.  Nice to look at, but sad to see/hear the downside.

well, private or not, not too mutt brain

 

they don't say how much kg she was... overweight or already skinny but wanted to be super skinny ?

 

people ... FASTING is a way to lose weight without exercise & pills

 

you start by skipping breakfast

 

and a lot of TV people here are old dudes...

 

once over the age of 40, the human only needs 2 meals max anyway per day

That's what I was thinking... I have a Thai friend who will not eat a balanced diet..  refuses to eat veg/fruit of any kind & as for exercise you're joking.. she gets on her wave to go to 7-11 less than 100 metres away.

She goes to her doctor who happily  supplies pills at 1,350 baht per week !
She works in a bank, is educated, 28 years old and now weighs 80kg...

I see your wave for 100m, and I raise you tractor for 50m. For weeks I witnessed a guy getting on his tractor in the plot of land opposite my apartment, drive full noise for 50m to reach a mango tree, get a single mango and drive back. Unfortunately the mango tree was under my window and this was invariably at dawn, so I had to change condo. He was skinny however.

Sorry about this lady, and this other story. No one should die for such reasons.
