Family and relatives of Abdullayib Dolah, 42, gathered Friday morning at the Inkayuth army base to hear news about his death.

PATTANI — A Muslim man detained by the military in the restive province of Pattani last month died in custody this morning, only a day after his family visited him.

Abdullayib Dolah, 42, died of as yet-unexplained circumstances at the Inkayuth army base – the third death of a suspect held in Thai military custody since Oct. 23, according to a military news release.

The statement said soldiers at the base immediately summoned a local doctor to find out how Abdullayib died but no conclusion was reached, so his body was sent to a hospital in Songkhla for a more detailed autopsy.

The decision to transfer his body was made “for the peace of mind of his relatives and the public, and, more importantly, to deter any individuals with ill intention to exploit Mr. Abdullahib’s death for furthering their own agenda,” the statement said.

Oh dear another one bites the dust.

Rather disturbing if you ask me.

Unexplained deaths and 'suicides' in custody: always the sign of a country headed down the pan. Next stop: disappearances, Chinese-style.

The Malay-Thai South insurgency may attract Daesh fighters whether they want it or not...a well placed suicide bomber in ISOC headquarters may decapitate the RTM. Although, human trafficking coordination might be disrupted.

I bet that there are some people that can explain how he died.(bet ya they won't)

In third world countries the death of a detainee would be labeled as heart attack or suicide case.

another terrorist is dead, no sympathy from me.

another terrorist is dead, no sympathy from me.

Can you back that terrorist statement up please.

another terrorist is dead, no sympathy from me.

Another stupid and ignorant guy has written. no sympathy from me.

...this has been going on for years.....then they wonder at the 'unrest'.....

...different in any way.....get treated like sh*t.....

....I do not remember reading that part in any of the Buddhist Scriptures....

Third death in custody this year? That must be some sort of world record for the low number of unexplained deaths in army custody anywhere in the world. Well done Thailand for absolutely minimizing these terrible deaths....

And no I am not being sarcastic, if the data are true and there are not massive numbers of deaths in police custody, then there are remarkably few deaths compared to elsewhere.
