PHUKET:-- Police are investigating the death of a Myanmar man who was found hanged outside the restrooms of a Korean restaurant in Kathu last night, after the man’s friends said the victim was depressed as he had no income due to the COVID situation and he was not allowed to return home to his wife in Myanmar.

 

Capt Peerawat Yodtor of the Kathu Police was called to the Tae Guk Ki restaurant off Wichit Songkram Rd at 11pm after he was notified by the 191 national police hotline.

 

Capt Peerawat and fellow officers, along with a medical team from Vachira Phuket Hospital and Kusoldharm Phuket Foundation rescue workers, arrived to find the body of Ye Htet, 41, on the ground in front of the restrooms at the back of the restaurant.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place... the Korean restaurant not paying him any wages, not able to cross the border back home, not getting any subsistence from Thailand for being laid-off. !
