A heartbreaking incident occurred in Nonthaburi as a 50-year-old woman was found dead in her car from apparent carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

At 10:30 on December 17, officers from Plai Bang Police Station received a report of a woman deceased inside a car parked in a monthly rental lot near Charoensap Market, Soi Wat Sri Phawat, Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi. Police, medical staff from the Institute of Forensic Medicine, and rescue personnel from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation responded to the scene.

 

The incident took place in the parking area of an apartment complex. Authorities discovered a white Nissan car (license plate from Bangkok) with the engine running. Inside the car, the deceased woman, identified as Ms. Yuwannada, aged 50, was found lying on the front passenger seat, her seat reclined. She was wearing a black t-shirt and brown leopard-print pants. Nearby, officers found a wallet, a mobile phone, and a charcoal stove.

 

Ms. Yui a 47-year-old caretaker of the apartment, told reporters that the deceased had been renting a parking space there for over 10 years, as her home, a commercial building located nearby, had no available parking. CCTV footage showed that the woman parked her car at approximately 22:00 the previous night. The caretaker was unsure when she re-entered the vehicle.

 

The deceased, a homemaker, was responsible for dropping off and picking up her children and grandchildren from school. Her husband was the first to discover the body after searching for her in the morning. When he checked the car, he found her unresponsive and immediately alerted authorities.

 

Ms. Yui, who had known the deceased for years, described her as kind-hearted, generous, and well-liked. It is believed that personal problems and feelings of distress may have led to the tragic incident.

 

Authorities have transferred the body for further forensic examination to confirm the exact cause of death. Police continue to investigate while preparing to return the body to the family for religious rites.
