Community 14-Year-Old Boy Dies After Family Starves for Weeks, Surviving Only on Tap Water
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident has shocked the community of Pak Kret in Nonthaburi province after a 14-year-old boy was found dead in his home, having reportedly succumbed to prolonged starvation. His parents, found severely emaciated and barely conscious, were rushed to hospital for emergency treatment. Rescue volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation were alerted to the case, after Mr Yongyosakorn 44, contacted authorities to report that his son, Master Itthikorn, had died at their home. His wife, Ms Ananya 45, was also found lying weak and unable to speak, apparently suffering from extreme malnutrition. Emergency responders, accompanied by officers from Pak Kret Police Station, arrived at the family’s two-storey concrete home, where they were met with a grim scene. The residence, surrounded by overgrown vegetation, showed signs of long-term neglect. Inside, in the middle of the living area, the body of young Itthikorn was found lying on the floor, reduced to skin and bones. There were no signs of physical trauma or struggle. His mother was discovered nearby in a similarly frail condition, while Mr Yongyosakorn was seated, also appearing severely weakened. Both surviving parents were immediately taken to hospital. The victim’s uncle told reporters that he had received an early-morning call from his younger brother, informing him that his nephew had passed away. The uncle rushed to the scene and contacted rescue services. He explained that the couple had not been employed for years, having lived off an inheritance from a land sale. In recent months, however, his brother had begun calling for occasional help with household bills, including a recent request for assistance with an overdue electricity bill, which the uncle paid. The family, he added, had been living in relative isolation. “I didn’t know things had gotten this bad. He said they hadn’t eaten in nearly a month. They were surviving on just tap water,” he said, visibly shaken. A first responder at the scene confirmed the father’s account, stating that all three family members appeared to be in an advanced state of starvation. “They were frail, weak and had clearly not had proper nutrition for a long time,” the officer said. “It’s not yet clear why the family chose not to seek help.” Neighbours reported that the family kept to themselves and rarely interacted with others. One neighbour recounted that food delivery riders used to frequently bring meals to the house, but that had stopped over a month ago. “After that, I never saw them leave the house. Only once in a while, I’d see the boy sitting alone outside,” the neighbour said. The boy’s body is now awaiting further examination by the Institute of Forensic Medicine to determine the exact cause of death. Meanwhile, social workers and authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the family’s situation, including whether more could have been done to prevent the loss of a young life.
