Maitree subsequently died at the Rajvej hospital on December 10.

The police were called to the man’s house by his wife when she heard a gunshot from their bedroom and found her husband barely breathing with a gunshot wound to his right temple. His wife told police that he and his friends had been drinking beer and watching the Liverpool – Fiorentina match at their house. After the match, which Liverpool lost 1-2, the friends left the house and Maitree went into their bedroom. When she heard the gunshot, she ran into the room and called the ambulance.

Police examined the hands of the deceased for gunshot residue, his wife and the man’s friends were taken to Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital for examination as well. Police discovered that the .38 used in the shooting belonged to the deceased.

Police are investigating to see if the suicide is due to involvement in illegal betting.
