A 68-year-old Chinese woman has tragically drowned in the swimming pool of her residence near Pattaya, Thailand. The incident occurred on Tuesday, May 14th, sending shockwaves through the local community.

 

Emergency services quickly responded after being alerted by Pol. Lt. Siriyaporn Kongphetsak, Deputy Investigator of the Nongprue Police Station. Their arrival at the house, situated near Mapprachan Reservoir in Banglamung district, Chonburi province, confirmed the worst fears.

 

Ms. Zhang Weijing, the victim, was found floating face down in the pool. Despite swift recovery efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Early examinations revealed no signs of foul play or struggle, leaving authorities to consider other possible causes, such as an accidental slip or a medical condition.

 

A neighbour, Mr. Yupha Jankeaw, reported that Ms. Zhang’s daughter discovered the body upon returning home at 7:30 PM from running errands. Distraught, she had left her mother alone earlier in the day.

 

Police have since documented the scene and transported the body for an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death. The death of Ms. Zhang Weijing has indeed cast a sombre mood over the local community, with many waiting patiently for further details on the circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking event.

That hotel may have been a literary one: the food was a farce and the drowning a tragedy.

Health issues?🙏

One never knows what really happened, the amount of people in this world who don't know how to swim is always rather astonishing to me, that is a possibility too.

A resident swimming pool is not a hot pool for some of the posters who cannot read all the story, or who forgot

to check on the word residence.  RIP to the woman. Maybe a heart attack, or even accidental drowning.

Not really, if one can't swim, stay away from the water being a pool, ocean river or whatever.

Drowning apparently! Easy to wade around in the shallow end to cool down, and accidentally slip into the deeper part of the pool.

Yes that's my point, stay away from pools etc if you can't swim. Of course she could have some medical issues.

Yes, ridiculous it is, her own home had the pool. Never mind, your just defending your thoughtless comment!

Perhaps the pool gradient........😋

I saved a lady in Italy, and an old guy in, I think, Minorca, because of the pool shallow too deep end gradient, though a long time ago... 🤗
