A Thai street cleaner found an unidentified man's body under an electricity control panel on a sidewalk along Romklao Road in Bangkok. This discovery occurred due to a foul smell that the cleaner, Panadda Ngokngam, noticed while she was working.

 

Panadda informed the local traffic police about the body at 6.40am on May 23. This information was later passed on to Min Buri Police Station for more in-depth investigation.

 

While speaking to Amarin TV, Panadda revealed that she had been cleaning the sidewalk on Romklao Road in the Min Buri district when she noticed the unpleasant smell coming from the unused control panel. She decided to open it and discovered a man's body lying in a one-meter deep hole beneath the panel, previously used to house electrical wires and equipment.

 

Police found bottles of alcohol and water in a plastic bag outside the panel. This has led them to speculate that the man might have been drunk, wandered into the panel and accidentally fell into the hole, causing his death.

 

As part of their ongoing investigation, the police are currently questioning the local residents and workers in the area as well as reviewing CCTV footage. The aim is to identify the deceased man and figure out how he ended up in such a situation.

But before he died, he closed the panel again?

Or used it as a shelter to live/sleep?

If it was access panel to electrical trench/tunnel, he could have entered from somewhere else and the cabinet is a nice open area to live in
