A disabled man set himself on fire before jumping from a bridge into the Noi River in Sing Buri province, claiming he was following instructions from Lord Shiva. Locals, however, suspect that drug-induced hallucinations may have influenced his actions.

 

At 10:40 on October 12, police from Khaibungrachan Police Station responded to an emergency at the Noi River bridge in Moo 6, Tha Kham Subdistrict, Khaibungrachan District. Upon arrival, they found bystanders in boats attempting to rescue the man, who had jumped into the river but was resisting help. Eventually, rescuers managed to bring him to shore safely.

 

 


The man, identified as Mr. Chalit (last name withheld), has a prosthetic leg, which detached and floated away during the incident. The Good Samaritan who rescued him retrieved the prosthetic leg as well. Mr. Chalit, who lives in Tha Kham, suffered burn injuries from setting himself on fire before his jump.

 

According to witnesses, Mr. Chalit claimed that his actions were prompted by a command from Lord Shiva, whom he worships. However, locals believe his behaviour was likely influenced by drugs, causing him to become delusional and set himself on fire. Sing Buri rescue workers provided initial medical assistance and transported him to Khaibungrachan Hospital for further treatment.

 

Police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are yet to confirm whether Mr. Chalit was under the influence of drugs, as the results of toxicology tests were not yet available.
