Mysterious death: Thai man found lifeless in auctioned building triggers Rayong investigation

Rayong police have launched an investigation into the mysterious death of an unemployed Thai man, whose lifeless body was discovered yesterday in an auctioned commercial building.

 

Authorities are exploring various potential causes of death, including pre-existing health conditions or the possibility of intentional suicide. Police became aware that the new owner of the building had repeatedly requested the 52 year old man to vacate the premises.

 

At 5pm yesterday, Komkrit Hongthong, an officer from Rayong City Police Station, received a report regarding a body found in a commercial building located in Rayong’s city area. Accompanied by a medical examiner and a rescue team from Sawang Phon Kuson, the officer initiated the investigation.

 

Upon arrival, the team encountered a crowd of locals gathered outside the two-storey building, its front adorned with glass, emanating a strong and pungent odour. In order to gain access, authorities had to forcefully enter the locked property, where they discovered a decomposing body on a sofa. It was estimated that the individual had been deceased for at least three days.

 

Preliminary findings from the investigation did not indicate any signs of a struggle. Inside the property, investigators discovered a plate of rotten food and two sachets of mineral salts, which were collected as evidence for further examination. The body was subsequently transferred to Rayong Hospital for an autopsy to ascertain the precise cause of death.

Well if he was holed up inside and couldn't get out to buy supplies then I guess eventually he starved to death, or similar.

How did he have a key ?, who locked the door or was it a padlock fitted by the deceased ? only 52 "the front adorned with glass"  why could he not break the glass if locked in? Also  has back door. Sounds Very Sus to me. Dying at 52 from natural causes seems a bit unlikely. no mention of alcohol bottles either. ???????????????????????????????????????????

Glass doors and windows can be broken, most people can go up to 3 weeks without food + he had uneaten food there.

Doesn't say if the deceased was the previous owner of the building, or was just occupying it due to unemployment or being homeless.. Poor fellah.
