Ovec to look into fatal initiation trip
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- The director of the Pathum Thani Technical College will face a disciplinary probe related to his alleged failure to prevent an unsupervised initiation trip, which saw one of the college students succumb to respiratory and blood-circulation failure.

Pokai Saengrojrat, 17, a first-year student, died late last month.

The Office of Vocational Education Commission (Ovec) set up a fact-finding committee to look into the incident. The committee suggested there were grounds to believe the college's director Kwanchai Panichakarn had been negligent.

Ovec secretary-general Chaiprug Sereerak said yesterday Kwanchai should have investigated what happened when a class-attendance report showed only 10 students remained in the classroom on the day of the trip .

If convicted of negligence or minor disciplinary offences, Kwanchai will face a warning, or a one-time salary cut or a long-term salary reduction.

No suggestion of dismissal though.

So the student stopped breathing. What was the cause??

[rethaier]

Circulatory problems would indicate the heart stopped working which in turn would soon cause one to cease breathing.

What about the seniors who organised the hazing and made the freshies go thru the ordeal. These scum should have their pics and details published in all the media and they and their parents jailed plus also ostracised from society.

Hang them I say. Real Garbage.
