A crowd indeed, as it should have been treated as a possible "crime scene" they should have all been told to go home.

I'd of expected some tire tracks on the grass going into the klong.

Why ask, if they knew the dead guy was Khomsak of Chonburi?

That's OK.

Maybe the victim was just resting and fell asleep when the car suddenly and inexpected rolled slowly into the klong.

Bad Karma.

Case closed????
