The case has garnered significant public attention, and it is believed that stress and anxiety from the charges may have contributed to his death.

 

While the investigation into the case involving both victims cannot proceed further due to Mr. Pakphoom's death, the DSI has seized all of his assets, leaving no room for any civil claims for damages.

don't believe this for one minute .... TIT ....  controversial arrests over the years have resulted in similar outcomes. 

Very convenient death...

30 years old, former associate of a senior police officer, found dead in a police cell whilst being held as a suspect, believed to have died from from "stress and anxiety".

 

Assets already seized.

 

Perhaps he caught a severe dose of stress and anxiety when he woke up to find someone sticking a hypodermic needle into him? 

 

Of course the video camera footage and custody logs will help with the investigation, unless...

The man's use by date period has expired and so did he.

LOL he died of "stress"? Welcome to Thailand 2023, where the BiB know they don't even have to bother with a good story.

Somchai Epstein

Confiscated whistle before it could be blown.

30 years old fit healthy and no doubt incredibly wealthy....................I have absolutely no doubt his stress and anxiety levels will have been through the roof........he must have known his fate as soon as the door was locked.

Didn't the guy pictured in your avatar claim to clean it all up 9 years ago.

 

Nothing has happened since, in fact what has reached the surface in those 9 years, is far worse than ever before.\

 

And some people want him re-elected because he did such a good job

If I was facing more than a year in a Thai prison then I'd 100% end my own life.

Of course.

Police didn’t report that some cyanide seized from the other lady in custody has gone missing.

Subtle difference:  He was Epsteined.

“Seized all of his assets”? 
 

Was he stupid enough to keep all of his assets in a Thai bank and how did they manage to seize his websites? 
 

 

It is a terrible crime here to operate gambling site, and not share the proceeds with the biggest joke, and his associates.

One has to assume there as as big a chance of Epstein dying of suicide, as Kenneth Lay dying of a heart attack, right before his trial. Unlike Epstein, he is likely living the high life in Uruguay, courtesy of his buddy Cheney.
