RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk sent in his deputy Lt-Gen Surachate Hakpan, reported Siam Rath.

 

The Lt-Gen - always called Big Joke - attracts considerable media attention and his activities in following up and investigating the crime are part of his involvement against human traffickers and IUU or illegal fishing practices, notes ASEAN NOW.

easier for suicides to seal the drum from the inside with super glue?

Might be a bit of a "sticky wicket" for them!!

Maybe he was told to use the drum as a toilet and pee in the corner... he died of exhaustion?

It's not a drum, it's a water tank. He was sent in to scrape the gunge off the bottom, and died of asphyxiation. Quite a common occurrence in olden days, not so much where health and safety rules apply.

 

Case solved, next please?.............
