Another corpse found on a Samui beach

 

 

A second corpse in a month has been found on a Koh Samui beach.

This time it was the body of a newborn infant that was revealed when waves washed away the sand on a beach in Maenam district just off the ring road at Ban Bang Por.

The boy had been dead about three or four days and was wrapped in a short sleeved sports shirt.

Suphit Chirpaka of Koh Samui police said it was likely that the boy was born to teens who were not ready to have a child.

It was not possible to say whether the child had died in the womb or was killed or died after birth.

The umbilical cord was still attached.

Police are investigating.

The corpse of a Burmese woman was found buried by a tourist on the island recently, a case believed to be murder.

I am sure an autopsy would soon clarify if still born or live birth, did the lungs contain air or fluid?

Becoming a bit of a grave yard and probably haunted by now.

[Samui Bodoh]

It is a terrible thing for a new-born to lose their life, no matter the circumstances.

 

Rest in Peace, little one.

Is the woman and the baby's death related?

RIP little one!

RIP So Sad

[RichardColeman]

I was given a child by someone who was at university who did not want it or was ready for it and is now one of my own children. Very happy. There are plenty of people desperate for children, not being ready is not an excuse to kill a baby if this is what happened. 

RIP baby boy.

The child may not have been murdered!!  Still born is a possibility.

They should still be charged with offences.

Hiding a body etc

Quite possibly, they're in the country working illegally, with no money, no advocate and a reasonable fear of getting locked up in a Thai prison for a long time if they did report a stillborn birth.

 

Easy to sit at our air conditioned keyboards and demand justice based on our expectations of how life works.

Is it illegal to report still births in Thailand ?

Could well be that they had a baby born alive, didnt know what to do with it an threw it away .

That's possible, but not the scenario I was responding to.

Its not beyond reasonable expectations of other people to dispose of their Childs body in a respectable way .

    Anyway, what would have been the outcome , had they gone to a hospital for the birth ?

   Assuming that they were in Thailand illegally 

If they had gone to a hospital , what would have been the outcome ?

Would the hospital give assistance to the birth process , deliver the baby ,and come to an agreement about financial payment 

   Or would the hosptal refuse to threat them and call the immigration authority?

Anyone know what would happen ?

Not as easy as that  :) The float test isn't very reliable and is one of the  sneaky 7 lung checks.

 If they were quick to offer a 4 day aging, this suggests this was a live birth. Rot usually sets in prior to delivery on a still born. You will see  it with the deterioration of tissue connectivity. One has to be very careful when handling these specimens as a limb can easily be pulled off,  or the skin torn.  Sometimes the child can die as a result of the birth, especially if it is a difficult delivery. The head can be crushed or  the  child delivered in the wrong position such that it literally  is strangled.  

The  female who delivered this child must be in a terrible state and is most likely in need of medical assistance. I hope that she wasn't one of the local sex workers who was beaten by a pimp or a customer causing the loss of life.

We don't that yet. Teenagers can panic. Of course it could be violence. Whatever the   cause, the   mother is in need of urgent psychological and medical assistance.

[4MyEgo]

I am sure its not the first and not the last, governments all around the world need to educate kids on alternatives when they reach this age, so that they can give the child up for adoption, i.e. if in fact it was alive without any interjection from the family, i.e. privacy should be a priority for the mother and father of the child.

 

SAD for all concerned, if the child was stillborn they should still be able to approach the hospital without feeling they will be persecuted and the autopsy can clear them of any wrong doing, but if they killed the child, throw the weight of the law at them, no matter how light it is here.

More probably a desperate confused mother with no money and thinking she had no choices. I expect the baby has been born to a migrant worker. Just very sad. We will probably never know. 

[PoorSucker]

Multiple posts removed, Thai bashing, military bashing and many attempts on jokes.

All this over a tragic event.

Reporting the stillbirth would be followed with investigation of legal status perhaps. 

However, if that was the case perhaps instead of burying the possibly stillborn infant on a beach it could have been left at a temple where it should have been provided last rites?

Koh Samui is the latest cemetery now.
