A 19-year-old female vocational college student was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her dormitory room in Udon Thani, with preliminary reports suggesting she consumed an entire 1.5-litre bottle of kratom juice prior to her death.

 

Police Lieutenant Sirichai Photichak, an investigator at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, responded to the emergency call along with forensic officers, hospital personnel from Udon Thani Provincial Hospital, and rescue volunteers. The incident occurred at a private dormitory located in Soi Chaiyavong, Khlong Charoen community.

 

The deceased, Ms. Kanlaya, a second-year vocational student originally from Nong Khai province, was discovered lying unresponsive on her bed on the second floor of the dormitory. A preliminary examination revealed bruises on both arms, but no other signs of struggle or external injuries. The attending physician estimated she had died one to two hours before authorities arrived.

 

Her roommate, Ms. First, also 19, told investigators that on the night of 4 July, she and the deceased went to a nearby friend’s room, where she and another friend, Ms. Mint, drank beer. Kanlaya, however, consumed a full 1.5-litre bottle of kratom juice on her own. The group returned to their dorm around 05:00. Shortly after, Kanlaya reportedly began displaying abnormal symptoms, glazed eyes, jaw clenching and seizures.

 

“I tried to wake her up, but she didn’t respond. I called Mint to come help, but by the time she arrived, Kanlaya had already passed away,” said Ms. First. She added that while the deceased had consumed kratom in the past, it had been a long time since her last use. She also had no known chronic illnesses.

 

Ms. Mint confirmed that Kanlaya had ordered the kratom online from a local seller and drank it alone. “She didn’t show any unusual symptoms while drinking, other than saying she felt sleepy,” Mint said.

 

Police are now investigating the source and composition of the kratom juice. Though the exact cause of death has yet to be determined, officers have collected all relevant evidence and have sent the body for an autopsy to determine whether the drink played a direct role in her death.

 

Authorities have also stated that the family will be contacted to claim the body for religious rites and the investigation remains ongoing.

Kratom doesn't kill anyone. People who take too much of it will feel sick, puke their guts out and nod off.
A lot of vendors, however, are adding all kind of extras to it. RIP young lady
