snoop1130 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 A 61 year old volunteer elephant handler, known for his fearlessness around elephants, mysteriously vanished and was later discovered dead after being trampled by a wild elephant in the heart of a forest in Buriram Province. The grim discovery was made today by Chakkraphan Sukterm, Deputy Inspector (Investigator) of Non Din Daeng Police Station. The deceased, named Thuep (surname withheld), was a volunteer elephant handler in his village. Preliminary investigations reveal that he left home on a motorcycle to search for forest goods in the large Dong forest on the morning of October 4 and then went missing. The village headman and villagers set out to look for him, suspecting he might have lost his way in the forest. Later, someone found his motorcycle parked at the Chao Pa Base in the large Dong Yai forest area on the Buriram Province side before initiating a nearby search.
