On the morning of November 24, police from Khlong Luang Police Station were alerted to a tragic scene at a university parking lot in Khlong Nueng Subdistrict, Rangsit, Pathum Thani . The body of a 35-year-old IT worker, identified as Mr. Thanat, was discovered in his car, where he had been dead for approximately four days.

 

The incident took place near Gymnasium 6 of the university. Authorities found Mr. Thanat in the driver’s seat of a bronze Mitsubishi Mirage, with a camping stove containing burnt charcoal on the floor behind the passenger seat. A preliminary medical examination confirmed he had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

Mr. Thanat’s stepfather, Mr. Amarin, 49, stated that the family had been searching for him since Wednesday night. The deceased, who worked in the server room at the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), often visited the university for weekly exercise. After failing to locate him, the family filed a missing person report with the Thanyaburi Police Station the previous day.

 

His mother, Mrs. Daranee, 53, revealed that her son had been under considerable stress due to work-related issues. He was assigned tasks he didn’t know how to complete and received little support. Despite her suggestion to resign, Mr. Thanat insisted on enduring the situation until the end of the year to fulfill financial responsibilities, including paying off his car and house. His mother added that she was unable to work due to ongoing health problems.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Uthai Thongsaroy, Deputy Chief Investigator, documented the scene and ordered the transport of the body to Thammasat University Hospital for further examination. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the death but suspect it was a case of suicide driven by work-related stress.
