Woman’s body found in Bangkok canal, believed to be abandoned for days

[webfact]

 

A shocking discovery occurred yesterday evening as police were summoned to a grisly scene in the Bang Khun Thian district of Bangkok. In Phraya Ratchamontri Canal, near the end of Soi Tha Kham 8, Samae Dam sub-district, the lifeless body of a woman was found floating face down, seemingly deserted for the past four days. She was thin, had long hair, and was thought to be between the ages of 40 to 50 years old.

 

Upon receiving the call, Thotsaphon Panthakan, a forensic police officer, promptly coordinated with medics at Siriraj Hospital, Ruamkatanyu Foundation officials, and civilian defence volunteers from Bang Khun Thian district, to examine the scene. It was around 6pm when the team arrived and encountered the disturbing sight.

 

The deceased woman was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts. She had long hair, and was tall and thin, with and estimated height the between 155 and 160 centimetres. Preliminary investigations showed no visible signs of injury and personal identification was nowhere to be found. She had presumably been dead for at least three days, they concluded.
