A 20-year-old Thai-Australian woman was found dead on 29 January, in what appears to be a suicide by hanging in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. Police and rescue teams responded to the incident but were unable to save her.

 

At around 12:00, Lieutenant Apinan Srithongrungthip, deputy investigator at Bang Lamung Police Station, along with rescue personnel from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation, were called to a location near Bypass Road 36 (Krating Lai-Rayong), Moo 6, Nong Pla Lai Subdistrict.

 

At the scene, a Bangkok Pattaya Hospital ambulance was present, and officers confirmed the identity of the deceased as Ms. Pick (20), a dual Thai-Australian national. A ligature mark was found on her neck, and despite medical efforts, she had already passed away before emergency responders arrived and could not be saved.

 

Preliminary investigations suggest that Ms. Pick hanged herself inside her home in Moo 5, Nong Pla Lai Subdistrict. Family members discovered her body at around 11:00, immediately cut her down, and rushed her to meet medics near the Wat Nong Ket Noi temple. However, she was pronounced dead after arriving there.

 

While initial reports suggest that she may have been struggling with personal issues, police have stated that a full investigation will be conducted.

 

The deceased's body has been transferred to Pattaya Patmakul Hospital, where it will be held until relatives provide the necessary documents to arrange a religious funeral.
