The owner of a coffin shop in the central province of Kanchanaburi found a dead man in front of the shop yesterday. It is believed the deceased died from the extreme heat as the temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius on the day he was found.

 

Officers from Tha Muang Police Station reviewed the area in front of the coffin shop, Heep Thong, after being notified about the death of a 31 year old man named Somphong Boon-iam. He was found slumped in a seated position against the iron fence in front of the shop. Nearby his body was a bag of snacks and two cartons of milk.

 

Somphong was shirtless and wearing only shorts. Officers found no signs of an attack or wounds on the dead man’s body. They believed he had passed away two hours before being discovered.

 

Ekkapong Gao-pare, the owner of the coffin shop, informed the police that Somphong used to walk past his shop frequently. On that day, Somphong exclaimed that the weather was too hot and proceeded to pour water from a basin in front of the shop onto his body and head before sitting down to enjoy a snack.

Heat stroke is no joke. Even the U.S. Army acknowledges special considerations when temperatures and humidity exceed  effective temps above 38 degrees Celsius. In such conditions in Fort Bennington we were required to strip to tee shirts, unblouse our trousers from our boots, sit in shade, and drink one half canteen of water per hour. They got tired of losing expensively trained recruits.
