A man tragically died after a Thai man cut his hand as he tried to retrieve a fan in Chon Buri. The man sliced his hand on a metal sheet which resulted in a severe loss of blood. Dismissing it as a minor wound, he was later found dead in another room the following morning. The police are yet to conclude the cause of death.

 

Police officer Khajornsak Somvang of Nong Yai Police Station today at 9am received a report of the Thai man’s death at a house in Klong Phlu Subdistrict, Nong Yai District, Chon Buri Province. Responding to the report, he arrived at the scene with a medical examiner from the Moral Rescue Unit, Nong Yai Association.

 

The deceased, a 69 year old Thai man named Songsak, was found in a state of undress, wearing only black trousers. He had a severe wound on his right wrist and was lying dead on his back. Blood stains were found on the wall and other items around the house. The man’s 64 year old wife, Ubon, was found sitting at the front of the house, waiting to provide a statement to the police.

 

Ubon told investigating police officers that her husband reached into another room full of metal sheets to unlock the door, during which he hurt his wrist. He then entered the room to fetch the fan. She didn’t pay much attention until she found her husband dead in another room the next morning.

Very sad way to go.

I have cut myself on that damn sheetmetal before too. Gotta be careful around that stuff. Any quick movement that touches will slice you right open.

 

RIP

 Neighbors reported they frequently argued. The wife found him dead in another room at 9am. Mmmm . most older Thais normally are up at the crack of dawn.

Well he didn't get up early that day.. because he was dead.

I'd have thought she would have checked on him a lot earlier, but probably wanted to avoid another argument.

Almost certainly...my Mrs would leave me alone if I slept in after a night out too. Does sound a bit odd though.
