A deeply disturbing discovery has shocked local residents in Chiang Mai after the body of a newborn baby was found floating in the Ping River, trapped at a sluice gate in the Pa Daet area of Mueang District.

 

The body, gender and age unconfirmed, is believed to be that of a newborn infant as the umbilical cord was still attached. The corpse was already decomposing, suggesting it had been in the water for some time.

 

A worker from Chiang Mai’s Irrigation Project, checking the water levels at the dam, initially spotted what appeared to be animal remains drifting in the current. Upon closer inspection using a mobile phone camera, it was revealed to be the body of a baby. Authorities were immediately contacted.

 

Rescue workers used a local fisherman’s net to retrieve the remains from the water. Police officers photographed the scene for evidence before transferring the body to the forensic department at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death and DNA tests will be conducted to help identify the mother.

 

Investigators are also checking local hospitals for recent births or antenatal care records in hopes of locating the woman responsible. The exact location where the baby was discarded is currently unknown, as the Ping River flows through many areas.
