A housekeeper was left in shock after discovering the body of an Indian man in a rented townhouse in Bangkok. The deceased, who had been living in the property for two months, had not been in contact with his family, prompting concerns that led to the grim discovery.

 

At approximately 14:00 on 19 March, Police Lieutenant Satha Duang-iad, an investigator at Samre Police Station, received a report of a death at a two-storey townhouse located behind Wat Santithamaram, in the Samre district of Thonburi, Bangkok. Officers arrived at the scene alongside forensic specialists, emergency responders from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, and an on-call medical examiner.

 

The deceased was identified as Mr. Taran, 38, an Indian national. He was found lying on his back on a bed, his body tilted slightly to the right. He was shirtless, wearing only black shorts, and had a plastic bag covering his head, which was connected to a helium tank nearby. Authorities documented the scene and collected evidence for further investigation.

 

The housekeeper (whose name has been withheld) stated that she had been working at the property for two years. On this occasion, the homeowner had asked her to check on the tenant after family members were unable to contact him.

 

Upon arrival, she rang the doorbell multiple times but received no response. She noticed that the air conditioning was off and no shoes were placed outside, making her believe that no one was home. Using a spare key, she unlocked the main door and went inside, but the bedroom on the second floor was locked. Looking through a gap, she was horrified to find the tenant unresponsive inside and immediately called the police.

 

The body has been sent for autopsy to confirm whether foul play was involved or if the death was self-inflicted. Efforts are also being made to contact the deceased’s family so they can make arrangements for funeral proceedings.
