Thai mother seeks answers in daughter’s Japan condo death

A Thai woman demanded an investigation into the death of her 23 year old daughter who mysteriously fell to her death from the eighth floor of a condominium in Japan, just one day after her arrival.

 

The mother, 48 year old Somporn, reached out to the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women yesterday, September 10, seeking assistance to find the reason behind the death of her 23 year old daughter, Thanaporn. Somporn disclosed that she could not travel to Japan to uncover the truth because of her financial status.

 

Somporn strongly believes that her daughter did not commit suicide, as determined by the Japanese police. Somporn stated that Thanaporn went to Japan to work as a party entertainer to earn enough to support her mother in opening a beverage store and also to take care of her four year old son.

 

Somporn explained that Thanaporn left Thailand on July 21 and she was unable to reach her since then. Messages sent through the LINE application remained unread and phone calls went unanswered. On July 26, Somporn said she received a call from the Consular Affairs Department saying that her daughter had died.

 

Authorities in Japan reported that Thanaporn had fallen from the eighth floor of a condominium located in Isesaki City, within the Kanagawa prefecture. No visible wounds of physical harm or struggle were apparent at the scene, so officers believed she had taken her own life.

 

From the security camera of the condo, Thanaporn was seen carrying her luggage into her room on July 23. However, a resident of the condo found her luggage outside of her room later on the same day.

Use a little imagination, it could range from what Thai's call a "pretty" to  a pro or somewhere in between.

Neither do I. Why would she go to Japan to take a dive from a condominium?
