Authorities in Nakhon Phanom launched an investigation after the body of an unidentified infant was discovered inside a roadside rubbish bin on 7 December 2025. The grim find was reported at around 16:50, prompting rescue teams, forensic officers and medical staff to respond to the scene. Officials said the infant had likely been dead for at least three days before being found.

The discovery was made on the road in front of Wat Pa Dong Sawang in Ban Nong Bua, Nong Yat subdistrict, Mueang district.

Upon arrival, responders found the infant’s body inside a white bag wrapped in a black T-shirt and left in a garbage container by the roadside.

Officials confirmed that further analysis would be carried out at the hospital.

Investigators said they are gathering evidence from the area, including possible witnesses or CCTV footage, to establish who left the infant in the bin. Authorities noted that determining the cause of death will be a key step in moving the case forward.
