The Buranak Radio Centre (Ratchaphruek Hospital) received an emergency call at approximately 07.40 on October 26, about a severe electric shock injury outside a garment factory in Soi Suksawat 26. Rescuers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation and the Ratchaphruek Civil Defense Volunteer Unit promptly arrived at the scene.

 

Upon arrival, emergency responders found the injured man, identified as “Locha” , a 19-year-old from Laos. He was lying unconscious on his back outside the factory door, with heavy bleeding from his mouth and a weak pulse. Locha, who was dressed in a white short-sleeve T-shirt and jeans with no shoes, was immediately given first aid, including CPR, while additional emergency medical support from the Erawan System was called. Shortly thereafter, paramedics from Charoen Krung Hospital arrived and transported him to Bangpakok 1 Hospital for urgent medical care.

 

According to Phuchana, 43, a bystander who attempted to assist, he initially noticed Locha near the door and assumed he had fainted when the door was partially ajar. As he tried to help, Phuchana also received a minor electric shock, which alerted him that Locha had also suffered an electric shock.

 

A preliminary inspection revealed that the incident occurred at the metal entrance gate, which had exposed electrical wiring routed from above. The wiring, threaded through the doorway, connected to switches and plugs on the inner side of the gate. Investigators suspect that frequent use of the metal door over time wore down the aging wiring, leading to the unanticipated malfunction and the gate had become live.
