A 56-year-old man who had been celebrating a 6,000-baht lottery win by drinking beer for six days and nights was found dead in a pond, having apparently drowned. Authorities suspect intoxication and cramp as the likely causes.

 

At approximately 11:00 on 22 February, Police Lieutenant Pisit Sangket, an investigator at Dan Khun Thot Police Station, Nakhon Ratchasima, received a report of a drowning at a pond behind Nong Bua Takiet Temple, Nong Bua Takiet Subdistrict. Police officers, along with rescuers from the Porisutho Foundation (Hook 31 Dan Khun Thot branch), were dispatched to the scene, where they found local residents gathered around the pond.

 

Divers from the rescue team located the victim at the bottom of the pond, alongside an unopened can of beer and another empty can floating nearby. The deceased was identified as Mr Nong Chulsantiya, 56, a resident of Ban Nong Bua Takiet, Moo 10, Nong Bua Takiet Subdistrict, Dan Khun Thot District.

 

Initial investigations revealed that Mr Nong had been single and lived alone. According to his 57-year-old relative, Mr Mana Chulsantiya, the victim had won 6,000 baht in the 16 February lottery draw and had been drinking beer daily to celebrate. He reportedly rode his bicycle around the village to drink with friends but failed to return home after 19:30 on 21 February.

 

The following morning, his bicycle and shoes were found near the pond, prompting residents to alert authorities. A search of the pond led to the discovery of his body.

 

Authorities believe Mr Nong may have entered the pond to cool off due to excessive alcohol consumption but suffered a cramp and was unable to climb out. His body was sent for autopsy at Luang Phor Koon Parisutho Hospital to confirm the cause of death.

 

Police have launched an official investigation to establish further details and ensure legal procedures are followed.

RIP Mr Bogan

One would assume suicide and not accident. After 6 days and nights the money was gone, and he couldn´t cope with that.

I take it Mr Nong Chulsantiya did not have regular employment?

 

The devil makes work for idle hands.

6,000 baht. The cost of dying. 

At least of it were 10 million I might understand.

They think he entered the pond to cool off ......   that's risky when drunk for a start,  he could have used the garden hose to cool off instead. 

 

No more lottery wins for you ......

Couldn't have had many friends or family if he could go on a six day bender with only 6000. They like to eat lots when they drink so that 6000 would soon be licked up.

RIP young man.

You've been living here long enough to know that drownings in Thailand are almost a daily thing, as parents do not teach their children how to swim in Thailand but rarely, mainly because they also don't know how.  Getting drunk and going into a pond not knowing how to swim is a prelude to disaster. I won't assume he didn't know how to swim, but being drunk exacerbates bad decisions.

Failure investing the money into a six days booze obviously

[Woke to Sounds]

It's possible he tucked into some of that poisonous methanol beer that's been going around.

[RT555]

[Yagoda]

Cant even get Long Time for 60000
