A 46 year old Thai man, recently released from prison, was found dead under a broken election banner in the northeast Nakhon Ratchasima province, just three days after his release. Authorities believe the cause of death could be sudden heart failure due to the extreme heat and his weak physical condition.

 

The body of the ex-prisoner was found beside a Korat city canal today, at approximately 1.30pm. Rescuers from Sawang Metta Nakhon Ratchasima responded to a call about a deceased man at the site. The victim, identified as Sompong (surname withheld for privacy), was found wearing only a pair of shorts, with tattoos all over his body. The initial examination revealed no signs of assault, and he was believed to have died at least four hours earlier.

 

Sompong was living alone in the Rajchanikul community after his family had moved away. He had recently been charged with theft and was released on June 1. Neighbours who knew him had given him money to buy food.
