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, 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, which is believed to have caused the deaths.

that's a new one. i've never heard of that before ...

Find somewhere in Bangkok to park you need to make the best use of it.

bizarre story.

so whodunit?

Two people have died in apparently tragic circumstances - a suspected gas leak - and we get the usual idiotic, braindead comments from AN readers who think they're funny.

What is SPICE? Condoms with Chili taste?

Short time rooms are cheap. Not sure why they wasted time in their car.

And then we add another idiot who thinks my post is funny. I hope that norfolkandchance isn't a parent. If he/she is, the kid is probably smarter.

If the engine of the car was running for several hours, it may be possible they died of carbon monoxide poisoning?

I think the fact that the male was wearing a condom removes the likelihood that this was suicide.

The police in the UK often refer to hard evidence- perhaps that is why?

Being an unhappy ending.

Could have been the pills, too, perhaps they were from a dubious source and they both took them.

Maybe a gas leak then as they say, but must have happened fast.

The best way to go. Fall asleep and never wake up.

RIP
