Japanese man found dead inside car

Samut Sakhon - A Japanese man was found suffocated inside a rented car in what police believed to be a suicide.

Police were alerted to check the car at 5:30 pm after witnesses saw it parked under a motorist flyover in Samut Sakhon's Muang district since 4 am on Sunday.

Pol Lt col Atthachai Nopphakdee of Tambon Bangthorad police station said police found the body of Hara Akihisa, 48, inside the car whose doors were locked.

The car key was found on the front seat near the man and police also found a tray, where mosquito-repellent sticks had been burnt, inside the car.

Atthachai said the man appeared to die of suffocation after lighting the sticks inside the car.

A record of the car renting showed that he had rented it on Saturday.

The body was sent for an autopsy at the Police's Forensic Medicine Institute.

Suicide by carbon monoxide poisening in the car is very common here in Japan. They have web forums for it and often meet and do it together. Usually in a van using the charcoal briquets, like the barbecue ones Thai's use.

Sad but true.

Funny like the BiB here always assume suicide before even considering other options.

What if he was just on his way to visit his girlfriend, got tired and parked at the curb for a nap? Locked the doors to be safe - I think anyone would do that. Was annoyed by mosquitoes so lit a mosquito curl wihtout thinking of the consequences?
