Picture from responders 

A heartbreaking incident occurred late night on December 3, in Pattaya, when a mother tragically passed away after collapsing face-first into a laundry basin. The incident took place at an apartment in Soi Aruno Thai, Pattaya, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Pattaya.

Emergency responders from the Sawang Boriboon Pattaya City Rescue Unit received an urgent call reporting a woman whose health had deteriorated, causing her to fall unconscious and collapse into the basin. The rescue team, accompanied by local police officers, quickly rushed to the scene.

Upon arrival, they found 18-year-old in deep distress, nearly overwhelmed by grief after discovering her 49-year-old mother lying face-down in the laundry basin. The rescue team moved the woman to the center of the room, performed initial life-saving procedures, and attempted CPR before rushing her to the hospital. Unfortunately, after being deprived of oxygen for an extended period, the mother was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

According to the daughter, she had been concerned for her mother’s well-being after losing contact with her earlier in the afternoon. When she returned from her part-time job, she attempted to reach her mother by knocking on the door, but received no response. Worried, she entered the apartment and made her way to the bathroom, where she was horrified to find her mother’s lifeless body face-down in the basin. She immediately called for help, and neighbours contacted the rescue team for assistance.

Initial reports suggest that the mother had a history of high blood pressure, which may have caused a sudden health episode leading to her collapse. Given that she was alone at the time of the incident, she was unable to help herself.

The authorities have since transported the body to Bang Lamung Hospital for further investigation.
