Popular Post webfact Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Wrong corpse Daily News reported scenes of utter bewilderment at the temple of Wat Sawang Arom in Kabinburi, Prachinburi, central Thailand yesterday. A large number of grieving relatives had gathered at the temple for bathing rites for a 58 year old woman called Somneuk who had died in an accident. But when the coffin was opened the body was the wrong color - their relative was of dark complexion, this one was white. Calls were made and it was discovered that the real relative was in preparation to be taken to Suphanburi more than 100 km away. They had got a 33 year old female corpse by mistake. A switch was then made at the temple. The hospital apologised as they looked similar and a morgue official had made an error when releasing the body for cremation. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-11-10 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Bangkok Barry Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Similar has happened before when giving a mother their new-born. Just part of the wonder of Thailand. When you've got two people it's so hard to know which is which. If you're Thai and have the normal Thai organisation skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also suggesting that the check if the right body is going out is just skin colour. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
