Mysterious death in jungle hut prompts investigation in Lampang province

In the early hours of yesterday morning, a tragic discovery was made in the district of Wang Nuea, Lampang province. A 48 year old man’s body was found lifeless in a hut in a dense jungle near the village. His death was mysterious, sparking an urgent response from local rescue workers, police from Wang Nuea station, and on-call physicians from Wang Nuea Hospital.

Upon reaching the scene in the village of Pa Hiang, Wang Nuea, the involved personnel performed a thorough check of the area. They located the deceased man identified as Kittisak, a native of the area. His body, bloated from being undiscovered for a while, showed no initial signs of assault or abuse.

Information gathered revealed that Kittisak had secluded himself in the hut for four days, following the identification of his mother as a high-risk contact after she contracted Covid-19. For the protection of fellow villagers, he had chosen to isolate himself away from his home, unwittingly meeting his untimely demise in the process.

“One minute we knew he was protecting the village by isolating himself, and the next thing we knew, he was gone,” expressed a local in response to the shocking news, reported in KhaoSod.
