Three men found dead on Bangkok’s streets, one tests positive for COVID-19

[webfact]

 

Three men were found dead on the street in Bangkok yesterday (Tuesday), one of them posthumously tested positive for COVID-19, according to rescue workers.

 

The first victim, a man about 50 years old, was found lying on the road near Bovornnivet Temple at about 10am after he had collapsed. Rescue workers tried to administer oxygen to the victim, but he died later.

 

Rescue workers suspect that the man was infected with COVID-19 and sealed off that section of the road with steel barriers and put up a warning sign.

Dying in the street's is not a good look Mr Czar Rip????

[Joinaman]

so covid killed him ?

Seems much easier to use Covid aa a reason for death, rather than doing an autopsy, which is what often happened in the UK

Being tested for Covid, and actually dying from it are two entirely different things, but then, that does not make the news, does it 

 

[Mac Mickmanus]

Could be some bad illegal drugs in circulation ?

[Wiggy]

He was left lying in the street for 12 hours. Utterly disgraceful.

The report did not say that Covid was the cause of death, neither did it say that no postmortem would be performed.

His body was under the care of rescue workers, utterly obviously.   It wasn't left there with people having to step over it.

Could be that people die all the time and they can't choose where it happens and nothing to do with "bad, illegal drugs in circulation" [sic]

You can get run over by a bus in the UK and end up on the UK covid infected and dead list !

My Thai friend tells me of a similar indecent when a man collapsed and died in the street and no one wanted to come close and touch him, he was laying there for a long time before he was collected and take away...

Yes, but its not often that three people drop down dead in the streets in quick succession in the same city .

   Its happens frequently that when there are bad illegal drugs in circulation , a number of  people often die simultaneously

You may end up on the covid infected list but the cause of death will be listed as dying in a RTA.

Now go seal off the morgue, to be sure he will not posthumously infect others.

Three people out of 8m+, they didn't die "in quick succession", no apparent connection between them, the locations were nowhere near each other and no suggestion that they were drug users?    Bit of a tenuous "link"!

[EricTh]

OMG, what really happened to these poor fellows? No food to eat?

They all died in the same day which is indeed in quick succession , drug users don't usually have connections with each other , apart from their dealer .

   They may have moved around to other of the cities locations . 

  I merely suggested that it was a possibility , which indeed it is .

As the OP stated, that section of the road was utterly sealed off with steel barriers and a warning sign was utterly erected so no one was in the area stepping over the body and who do you think was utterly out of the shots...the rescue services, perhaps?

He died in the gutter with no help from anyone. Don't use his tragedy to make clichéd, specious arguments about causes of death. The fallacy of the with/ from debate has moved on.

[itsari]

Wuhan had many cases dropping dead in the streets from covid .

In the UK, the medical examiner must determine the cause of death, not just rely on a Covid test.

 

There an urban myth that the ME automatically puts Covid as the cause of death if there has been an infection in the previous 28 days, but this is not true. I have previously posted the ME guidance that explains all this.

 

if you disagree, please post a link to a recent official source.

It’s not clear that those videos were real.

 

In the OP, it was revealed that only 1 of the 3 found dead were Covid positive. People fall dead or fall down in the street for many reasons.

 

let’s not rely on rumor or urban myths here.

 

Note that Wuhan had as many cases in total as Thailand has in a week,

[kamahele]

Disturbing that they just left his body in the road for twelve hours (all day and into the night).

[malthebluff]

Does it really matter what they died from the fact remains that because of covid people were to scared to help in any way they could 

[sapson]

Perhaps they were leaders of the latest peoples revolution to overthrow the inept Czar and had been administered with some permanent attitude adjustment.

[Caldera]

Far from happiness being returned to the Thai people, poor people dying in the street while the billionaires added a few billions to their loot is Prayuth's Thailand in a nutshell.

[kingstonkid]

Unfortunately there will be a lot more deaths caused by Covid indirectly.  Remember that a lot of the elderly and poor make what little money they have pan handling.  

 

The only thing that can be done is for some of the temples to create soup lines but then again that poses the contact problem.
