The body of the child, named as Master Shien-Chiow, was found by a 7 year old boy who initially thought he was sleeping but he soon realized the child was shaking.
Both parents were working on the construction site in Soi Nong Get Yai in North Pattaya and rushed back to their temporary dwelling and noticed a burning smell. The electric supply was cut and the lifeless body of the child was rushed to Hospital where he could not be saved.
Police were called and examined the boy who had two burn marks on his left foot and across his back. A later inspection of the dwelling was made and it was determined that a poor quality installation of power cables combined with the use of materials to build the living quarters which conduct electricity may have led to the tragic death of the child.
A full review of all living quarters at the site is underway and for now the area has been evacuated until it is confirmed the electrics are safe.
