Missing Bangkok contractor’s body found in canal

A tragic missing person incident has concluded with the discovery of the man’s body in a canal. Two days ago, a construction contractor mysteriously disappeared. Now, the man’s body was found in the Lam Kret Canal, along with his moped. His wife mournfully identified the body and explained that her husband had driven his moped to get more washed sand for his work. Since then, he had not been seen or heard from, leading her to file a missing person’s report. It is now believed that he fell from a bridge two days ago.

 

The incident was reported from the end of Ram Inthra 97, in the Khan Na Yao district of Bangkok. Upon arrival, authorities discovered the body of 58 year old Aun floating in the canal. Dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, Aun had been dead for about two to three days when his body was found. His body was entangled with a dark grey Honda Wave moped whose registration number confirmed it was the deceased man’s bike, reported KhaoSod.

 

After an initial investigation, Meam, the dead man’s 46 year old wife shared her tearful account. After hearing that her husband’s body had been pulled from the canal, she raced to the scene to see for herself. Aun was a subcontractor who usually stayed in Ram Inthra 62 but had been working on a construction project in Ram Inthra 99.

Very sad for the wife as obviously he was the breadwinner.

The only solace if any is mournful closure since the body was found.

 

RIP old man contractor.

may you build a stone wall in heaven.

Your definition of someone being old at 58 is disturbing ! If that's the case, Pattaya appears to be full of the walking dead

Hardly surprising when you see people riding at speed along these walkways.  One wrong turn and you're in the water.
