A 45-year-old Thai man and a 27-year-old Thai woman were found dead inside a parked grey sedan in Bangkok’s Phasi Charoen district on Saturday, July 4. Police said the man was discovered in the driver’s seat and the woman in the front passenger seat, with signs indicating the pair had engaged in sexual activity before their deaths, as the dead man was still wearing a condom.

Police were called to Soi Bang Waek 15 after local residents found the bodies inside the vehicle. Officers did not release the identities of either victim.

Residents told investigators the car arrived in the alley at about 2am. Later that morning, motorists tried to ask the driver to move the vehicle because it was blocking access along the narrow road, but received no response.

Witnesses said the car’s engine continued running until about 5am. Concerned residents then inspected the vehicle more closely before contacting the emergency services. Rescue workers forced open the doors and confirmed that both occupants had died inside the car.

A search of the vehicle uncovered condom packets in two different sizes, male erection supplements and an LPG refuelling receipt from a petrol station about seven kilometres from the scene.

The woman’s 22-year-old brother told police he had celebrated her birthday with her on July 3 before they returned home together. He said she later told him she was going out after midnight and was picked up by someone.

He added that he was unable to contact her afterwards. He also told investigators that she had been dating several men but he did not know any further details.

The bodies were taken to Siriraj Hospital for examination. According to Khaosod on July 6, the autopsy determined that the cause of death was cardiorespiratory failure.

Khaosod reported that the investigation is ongoing, with inspection of the car to determine if the LPG system was leaking into the car to cause the deaths.
