In a heart-wrenching incident, a 17-year-old student, Thanakorn, collapsed and died during a physical education class at his school in Phichit's Mueang district. The student was partaking in an 800-metre endurance run when he fell after only 100 metres, suffering from chest tightness before losing consciousness. His demise has left his family, peers, and school staff in shock.

 

Amidst the mourning, Thanakorn's parents, Seree and Sukanya, together with relatives and teachers, held a spiritual ceremony led by a monk from Wat Samkha, transferring his spirit from the field to the temple where funeral rites will take place.

 

Sukanya mourned her only son's loss and challenged the school's suggestion of a heart condition related to his early childhood Kawasaki disease. Though successfully treated, questions loom over the true cause of his death.

 

Seree shared a poignant last memory of their son expressing reluctance about attending the class due to the exhausting run. Despite this, he participated, raising concerns about the reported circumstances.

 

School director Nikoon Thongnasarn conveyed deep regret and pledged support to the family, including financial assistance and attending funeral rites. Dr Wisit Apisitwittaya, Phichit’s health officer, echoed condolences and aided the family financially.

 

An autopsy is ongoing at Phuttha Hospital, with tissue samples under scrutiny to determine the precise cause. The investigation seeks to provide answers and closure to Thanakorn's family amidst this unexpected tragedy.
