In a jaw-dropping event in Nonthaburi, a man presumed dead in a canal astonished rescuers by calling out for help. The dramatic episode unfolded when police and volunteers rushed to the scene to rescue 70-year-old Kosem, who was floating lifelessly with visible injuries.

 

The startling discovery was made under a bridge over Khlong Lamphu on Highway 9. It began when a local fisherman spotted what looked like a dead body in the water. Upon arrival, emergency teams found Kosem's head resting against a concrete block, initially believing him to have succumbed to his apparent injuries.

 

As preparations were being made to recover the body, an officer shifted the concrete block with a stick, only for Kosem to suddenly plead, "Help me!" His unexpected cry sparked immediate rescue action. The shocked responders quickly pulled him out of the water, amazed by the turn of events.

 

After safely extracting him, Kosem confessed to fainting on his way home, accidentally tumbling into the canal. Despite the visible wounds, he was mostly unharmed and was taken to Bang Bua Thong Hospital for comprehensive evaluation.

 

Kosem’s sudden resurgence from presumed death has left all, including the emergency teams, mystified. Initially feared to be a tragic accident, his revival has turned the incident into a talking point about resilience and the unpredictable nature of life itself.
