Pol Capt Kraisorn Boonprasop of the Thalang Police received a call informing him that a man was unconscious beside the road at about 6:50am
Pol Capt Kraisorn along with Pol Lt Sin Saijit and an EMS Advance Unit from Thalang Hospital, promptly arrived at the scene.
Upon arrival, they discovered the man, identified as Wisut Aekkachai, a resident of Moo 1, Tambon Thepkrasattri, unresponsive.
Despite immediate medical attention, Mr Wisut was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was found with abrasions under his chin and a non-life-threatening wound on his left knee.
According to Sanya Ekachai, Mr Wisut’s brother, Mr Wisut had been suffering from chronic alcoholism, which often led to fainting spells. Every morning, Mr Wisut would ride his bicycle to Thalang Hospital for his regular injection.
Authorities, including investigators and doctors from Thalang Hospital, conducted an initial post-mortem examination at the scene, after which Mr Wisut’s body was subsequently transported to Thalang Hospital, where a forensic doctor from Vachira Phuket Hospital will perform a more thorough examination to determine the exact cause of death.
