A 28-year-old man lost his life after being electrocuted while cleaning BBQ grill tops, at his restaurant in Rangsit, Pathum Thani. The incident occurred at around 16:00 on 6 April, at a grill restaurant located in Soi Rangsit Phiroam, Klong 1 Subdistrict, Klong Luang District.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Chumphon Songngam of the Klong Luang Police Station, alongside forensic experts from Thammasat University Hospital, and rescue officers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, responded to the scene.

 

The victim, identified as Phairoj, was found dead in the restaurant. He was not wearing a shirt, dressed in shorts, with visible burn marks on his right hand. The BBQ grill tops had fallen onto the wet floor near some electrical wiring, suggesting a possible electric shock incident.

 

Phairoj’s wife, Parichat, 28, revealed that her husband had been cleaning the BBQ grill tops since early afternoon. When she arrived at the scene, she found him lying on the floor. She attempted to get help from a delivery person, who turned off the electricity, but it was too late, Phairoj had already passed away.

 

Police have collected evidence and recorded the scene for further investigation. The body has been sent to the Thammasat University Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
