A car showroom owner, struggling with financial difficulties and unable to secure a bank loan, took his own life inside his vehicle on Phahonyothin Road in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani.

 

On the morning of October 4, Lieutenant Prachaya Kokun of Khlong Luang Police Station responded to reports of a suicide near kilometre marker 45 on the outbound side of the road. Investigators from the Khlong Luang Police, forensic experts from Pathum Thani Provincial Forensic Unit, and medical personnel from Thammasat University Hospital were dispatched to the scene.

 

 


The victim, a 38-year-old man (name withheld), was found inside a red Suzuki sedan registered in Bangkok. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to his right temple. A .38 caliber Walther handgun was found beside him in the driver’s seat.

 

The discovery was made by traffic police officers during rush hour, who noticed the car parked by the roadside and approached to check. Upon investigation, they found the man unresponsive, slumped over toward the passenger seat, with blood visible on his head. They immediately alerted investigators.

 

The victim’s father revealed that his son was facing financial difficulties related to his car showroom business. After repeated attempts to secure a bank loan had failed, the pressure mounted. The night before the incident the victim had asked his father for a gun, claiming he needed it for self-defence due to concerns about a new neighbour.

 

Despite the father’s belief that the financial issues were minor, it seems the ongoing stress pushed his son to a breaking point. The father confirmed that the .38 Walther handgun belonged to him.

 

Lieutenant Prachaya recorded evidence at the scene before the victim’s body was transferred to Thammasat University Hospital for further examination.
