Pattaya police received a report at 20.05 on September 24, of a body found near a pond in a deserted area off Soi Thepprasit 17, Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. The report was received by Lt. Col. Sanan Kotanont, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya Police Station (Dongtan Branch), who immediately informed his superior, Pol. Col. Navin Theerawit, and a team of investigators, along with rescue personnel from Sawang Boriboon Pattaya Foundation, rushed to the scene.

 

The location was a large, overgrown area with a large pond. Beside a mound of earth, authorities found the body of a man, estimated to be between 50 and 60 years old. The man was wearing a blue T-shirt, black track pants with red stripes, and black sneakers, which had been removed and placed near his feet. Next to the body, police found a small towel and a pair of glasses. It was estimated that the man had been dead for at least 10 hours. Near the pond, authorities also discovered a fishing rod with bait cast, which was collected as evidence.

 

 

Initial reports indicate that a local resident, who had come to fish in the area, stumbled upon the body and immediately alerted the authorities. As of now, the identity of the deceased remains unknown. Authorities are investigating missing persons reports and have sent the body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police General Hospital for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

 

The investigation is ongoing.

Strange. Does that mean that the man was lying down as if having a rest?

Must be the busiest place in Thailand, I'm surprised they don't have big backlog.

Seems like he had been fishing and passed away from natural causes.
