A woman has been left deeply traumatised after discovering she had unknowingly shared a bed for two nights with the body of her deceased sister.

The incident took place in a single-storey house in Moo 3, Bang Samak subdistrict, Bang Pakong district, Chachoengsao province. At approximately 19:30 on 2 May, police were alerted to the presence of a deceased individual inside the home.

Responding to the call, Pol. Sub Lt. Noppadon Taweechart of Bang Pakong Police Station and rescue workers from Chachoengsao Rescue Unit found the body of a 56-year-old woman, identified only as Ms. Chiraporn. She was discovered lying face-up on the bed, wearing only underwear. Her body had begun to emit a foul odour, and authorities estimate she had been dead for about two days. There were no visible signs of injury or signs of a struggle in the room.

Ms. Bualoy, 59, the elder sister of the deceased, explained that her sibling was disabled and they live together in the house. Ms. Bualoy, who works full-time, would usually return home in the evenings and share dinner with her sister. The last conversation they had was on Wednesday. On Thursday evening, she saw her sister lying in bed and assumed she was asleep, so did not wake her for dinner.

The following morning, she left for work again without disturbing her. It was not until she returned home on Friday evening and noticed a strong smell that she turned on the lights and was horrified to discover her sister had passed away. She immediately contacted the authorities.

Police conducted a preliminary examination and recorded the scene as evidence. The body has since been sent to the Police General Hospital in Bangkok for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Investigations are ongoing, and the family will be contacted for further funeral arrangements.
