109 overstay suspects have died.

One has acquired Thai citizenship.

They don't hesitate to publish their complete lack of proper record keeping.

Home country consulate will be informed about a foreigners death and immigration stays in the dark?

Well, if I would die now, my wife would arrange that I get burned or fed to the soi dogs. But for the immigration I would than overstay. I understand that.
But the guy who got Thai citizenship is funny....
