In a tragic discovery in Rayong's Ban Chang district, Thai man Thaweesak Namwongsa was found dead among more than 100 empty beer bottles in his bedroom. The 44-year-old, reportedly overwhelmed by personal stress, had turned to heavy drinking in the weeks leading up to his death.

 

Rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation were alerted after Thaweesak’s 16-year-old son returned from school to find his father convulsing. Despite a neighbour's attempt at CPR, Thaweesak was pronounced dead upon the rescue team's arrival.

 

Living separately from his ex-wife, Thaweesak and his son shared the house where the tragedy unfolded. According to his son, Thaweesak had been consuming only beer for over a month, ignoring the meals prepared for him. The young boy was uncertain about his father's health history.

 

The scene described by rescue workers was grim: the bedroom was cluttered with empty beer bottles, leaving barely any space to walk. It was a stark testament to Thaweesak’s struggles, though the specific causes of his distress remain private.

 

The event has sparked widespread conversation on social media platforms. While condolences pour in, some netizens are critical of Thaweesak's dependence on alcohol, which left his son to face the aftermath alone.

 

An autopsy is underway to determine the exact cause of Thaweesak’s death, but excessive alcohol consumption is believed to be a significant factor. The World Health Organisation highlights that alcohol contributes to over 2.6 million deaths annually, linked to chronic diseases, injuries, and mental health issues.

 

The incident raises pressing questions about who will care for Thaweesak’s son, a matter yet unresolved. It also underscores the devastating impact of alcohol abuse, with experts continuously urging those in distress to seek healthier coping mechanisms and support.

 

As the community processes this somber event, it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of reaching out for help in times of personal turmoil.
