A family of three, consisting of a father, mother, and their young daughter, was found dead in their rented home in Pluak Daeng District, Rayong Province. A note was discovered at the scene, and initial investigations have found no visible signs of trauma, with authorities suspecting CO poisoning or suffocation as the cause of death. 

 

In the morning of September 18, at 09:00, Pol. Sub-Lt. Natthaphon Chumpoo of the Pluak Daeng Police Station was notified of the tragic incident. The victims were discovered in the bedroom of a one-story townhouse located in Soi Mab Yang Phon 14, Mab Yang Phon Subdistrict. The deceased were identified as Mr. Saiyan, 50, the father; Ms. Kanokorn, 43, the mother; and their daughter, Anyaporn, 12. In the room there was a metal bowl containing charcoal remains, believed to have been used to fill the room with smoke.

 

 

Authorities collected evidence from the scene, and forensic officers from Pluak Daeng Hospital conducted preliminary examinations. The absence of any external injuries on the bodies led doctors to initially suggest suffocation and carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death. The bodies have been sent to Pluak Daeng Hospital for further autopsy to determine the precise cause.

 

Ms. Thongkoon, 46, a relative of the deceased, reported her suspicions after noticing the family had not left for work. Upon enlisting help to break into the house, the tragic discovery was made. She revealed that both parents suffered from depression, while the daughter had autism. The family had previously lived in Bangkok but relocated to Pluak Daeng following business troubles. Ms. Thongkoon mentioned that she had been closely supporting the family and was shocked by the incident.

 

The owner of the rented house, who had leased the property to the family for a year, expressed disbelief, describing them as kind and good-natured people who had never missed a rent payment. The deaths came as a complete surprise to him. 

 

The investigation into the exact cause of this event continues.

It´s sad when life takes such negative turns, but there must still be something that makes you care and want to fight. Especially if you are a parent to a child in need.

Sounds like they'd had enough of fighting.....life is hard!

RIP to the innocent young girl...👍

Had a young lady near me a couple of weeks ago tried to do the same, she put a BBQ pot with charcoal in her car and reclined her drivers seat to depart this world.

I think she must've sent a last message to friends as they arrived and tried to get her out of the car.

One friend took out the burning pot and others tried to revive her.

An ambulance arrived and got her out of the car and took her away.

The suicide with a charcoal burner in the car is the way many Japanese do it.  It must be relatively painless.  There are lots of suicides in Japan.

co2 ?  was the heater leaking ?
