A shocking discovery was made in the Bang Pakong River when locals found the body of an elderly man floating in the water.

 

The unidentified man, estimated to be between 65 and 70 years old, is believed to have been dead for around five hours before his body was discovered at midnight on January 29.

 

The authorities, alerted by Deputy Inspector Pattawee Kanth, are working diligently to locate the man’s relatives and investigate the circumstances of his death.

 

In the early hours of the morning, the Chachoengsao rescue unit joined law enforcement at the scene near the Bang Pakong District Office. The villagers had tethered the corpse to prevent it from drifting away due to the receding water levels.
