The body of 90-year-old Luang Pu San Anuttaro, abbot of Ban Kham Duei Temple in Kham Khuean Kaeo subdistrict, Chanuman district, Amnat Charoen province, has been recovered after he went missing. Villagers reported to authorities that on the early morning of October 30, the monk did not come out for alms and remained missing, causing disciples to fear an accident or danger.
Officials, joined by rescue units totaling more than 300 people, conducted a search starting from five ponds within the temple grounds but found no trace. At 1:50 PM, the search team discovered the monk's body at the base of a cliff on the north side of the monastery, which stands over 20 meters high. It took rescuers nearly an hour to retrieve the body amid the grief of disciples. Authorities performed a preliminary inquest before sending the body to Amnat Charoen Hospital. Officials have not yet concluded the investigation and will conduct a detailed review, though initial assessment suggests the monk likely fell from the cliff.
