Canal mystery: Thai folk singer’s eerie demise clutching 17,000 baht in cash

[webfact]

 

A Thai folk singer mysteriously died in the Isaan province of Roi Et. Her lifeless body was found floating in a canal, clutching a shoulder bag containing 17,000 baht.

 

A concerned local fisherman reported the shocking find to officers at Mueang Roi Et Police Station on September 5. He recounted that while fishing in the canal, he came across an unexpected sight – what initially appeared to be a mannequin adrift in the water. Curiosity piqued, he cautiously prodded it with a wooden stick, only to be met with the shock of realising it was, in fact, a human form.

 

Subsequently, police officers and a rescue team descended upon the scene. There, they uncovered the lifeless body, face down in the canal. Swiftly, they retrieved the body to initiate a thorough investigation. The deceased was identified as a Thai woman, dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt and long grey pants, with a black shoulder bag in tow.

What an ignorant comment, finding fault where there is absolutely no suggestion of incometence or neglect,
 

The article gives no indication that anyone but you has become fixated on the money over discovering her identity and cause of death,

so we are equating the counting and laying out wet bills discovered in a corpses bag while searching for identification with cutting open the body?

Laying money out on the ground is hardly searching for someone's id.

There is no need to do it

As for doing the autopsy there on the road, lets use your own words

WHY THE FOK NOT
