Pol. Lt. Col. Yosnan Warangki, 44, Deputy Superintendent of Udomsuk Police, took his own life shortly after completing a video conference meeting. The officer, who had recently received a double salary promotion due to his outstanding performance, shocked colleagues with his sudden death.

 

At approximately 15:30 on September 30, 2024, Pol. Lt. Soponwat Jaikla, Deputy Inspector (Investigation), was alerted to the incident. Upon receiving the report, senior police officials, including Pol. Maj. Gen. Nopasin Phulsawat, Deputy Commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, and Pol. Col. Niphon Sookniyom, Deputy Commander of the 4th Division, were notified and rushed to the scene along with forensic officers and rescue teams.

 

 


The tragic event occurred in the second-floor office of the Udomsuk police station, located in Dok Mai, Prawet District, Bangkok. The deceased was found in full uniform, sitting in his office chair. A single gunshot wound to the right temple from a 9mm firearm was identified, with the weapon lying beside his body.

 

According to Pol. Maj. Gen. Nopasin, the video conference had been held earlier that day, at around 11:00 discussing the monthly crime suppression report. Not long after the meeting concluded, the incident unfolded. It was revealed that Pol. Lt. Col. Yosnan had been suffering from depression and had expressed to close friends his reluctance to continue taking medication.

 

Despite his mental health struggles, Pol. Lt. Col. Yosnan’s performance at the Udomsuk station had been exemplary, consistently meeting targets. He had also recently been rewarded with a double salary increase. Known for his physical fitness, he was a diving instructor, adding to the shock of those who knew him.

 

Authorities suspect depression as the likely cause of the incident. The body has been sent for autopsy as the investigation continues.
