Authorities were alerted around 6:30 pm and discovered the body of 47-year-old Warinthorn inside a residence in Thai Ban subdistrict. The woman had blood coming from her mouth, and officials noted she had been dead for approximately three hours.

Arriving at the house with drinks and food at 11 am, the trio drank together until the woman became heavily intoxicated. Witnesses reported she felt unwell, collapsed, and later became motionless, but no medical assistance was initially sought.
