Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Medicine has shared insights on estimating time of death through four preliminary methods, revealing the bodily changes that occur within 24 hours of death. On May 27, 2025, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thawatchai Manwam, lecturer in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Associate Dean for Communications and Environment at Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Medicine, provided educational information about estimating time of death through the faculty's official Facebook page, outlining four observable methods:

Rigor Mortis – Following death, the body gradually stiffens as muscles contract and lock due to depletion of remaining energy. This process typically begins approximately 2 hours after death.

Livor Mortis (Blood Pooling) – During life, the heart pumps blood throughout the body, but after death, without this circulation, blood settles downward due to gravity. When a body lies on its back, purplish bruising typically appears in the lower back and waist area.

Supravital Reaction – Skeletal muscles remain responsive for a period after death. When large muscle groups, such as the upper arm, are stimulated by striking or pulling, visible contractions occur, indicating death occurred recently.

Body Temperature – Normal body temperature is approximately 37 degrees Celsius, but after death, body temperature gradually decreases to match the surrounding environment.

After 24 hours of death, decomposition begins. The first visible sign of putrefaction typically appears as green discoloration in the lower right abdomen, as this area contains the large intestine which is closely attached to the abdominal wall.

Beyond these physical indicators, forensic entomology also assists in estimating time of death by examining insect activity, particularly flies that lay eggs and develop into larvae within the body. Generally, flies—especially green bottle flies—will lay eggs shortly after death, developing through larval stages that can help estimate the time elapsed since death.

However, estimating time of death provides only approximate time ranges rather than precise times. The longer the period since death, the greater the margin of error. Environmental factors significantly impact accuracy—warmer temperatures accelerate decomposition, while cooler temperatures slow it. Forensic pathologists must conduct comprehensive examinations beyond physical observation, incorporating environmental evidence and investigative findings to establish the most accurate and narrow time of death estimate.

In Chumphon, a 44-year-old woman attempting to collect a debt from a 39-year-old became embroiled in a fierce argument. The debtor grabbed a sharp-pointed knife and stabbed the creditor under the left breast, resulting in the creditor's death at her workplace amid shocked coworkers.

On May 27, 2026, Lieutenant Colonel Chalad Phonnakarn, commander of Ta Sae Police Station in Chumphon, ordered an investigation into the fatal assault. Police Inspector Samkat Thaen-indra and investigating officers, along with traffic police from Unit 20, conducted a thorough examination at Moo 9, Ta Sae Subdistrict, Ta Sae District, Chumphon.

The victim was identified as Ms. Thitiratch Klong Kiartphong, 44 years old, from Hong Charoen Subdistrict, Ta Sae District, Chumphon. She was found lying on her back at her workplace with a single stab wound to the left side of her chest.

Police immediately apprehended Ms. Ornuch, or "Or," Thongphan, 39 years old, from Tha Chana District, Surat Thani Province, and charged her with assault causing death. Officers recovered a 14-inch sharp-pointed knife used in the attack, which was hidden near the scene, along with the suspect's clothing—green elastic shorts and a gray sleeveless shirt.

Preliminary investigations revealed both the victim and suspect worked at the same location. Before the incident, Ms. Thitiratch approached Ms. Ornuch demanding repayment of a debt, sparking a violent confrontation. During the dispute, Ms. Ornuch stabbed Ms. Thitiratch forcefully under the left breast. The victim attempted to flee but collapsed within steps and died at the workplace.

Police secured the area, collected evidence, and transferred the suspect to investigators for further legal proceedings. Authorities are continuing to interview witnesses to establish a complete timeline and determine all circumstances surrounding this tragic incident, which has shocked coworkers and residents in the area.

On May 27, 2025, Pannya Intharudom, a former crime reporter and owner of 'Tone Sticker' shop, filed a complaint with investigators at Bang Sri Mueang Police Station in Nonthaburi after a TikTok user posted false videos and information causing business damage and customer confusion.

The TikTok clip falsely accused the Tone Sticker shop of poor workmanship and high prices, even tagging the shop's location, despite the accuser never being a customer or conducting any business with the shop. According to the shop's Facebook page update, the false clips and messages were uploaded to social media platforms including TikTok, causing severe damage to the 20-year-old business and eroding customer confidence.

Police are currently conducting witness interviews and reviewing all clips, discovering four criminal violations under different statutes. Authorities are pursuing full prosecution against the person who posted the defamatory content. If the case is won, the damages awarded will be donated to a foundation assisting intellectually disabled children. The shop thanked loyal customers for their continued trust and assured them that the truth would soon come to light.

Seeing clumps of hair clogging the drain after shampooing, or strands of hair coming out in bunches when combing, is an unsettling experience many people face. The situation becomes even more concerning when you notice an expanding bald patch, which can significantly shake your confidence in daily life and social interactions. Hair loss can affect anyone regardless of gender or age due to various environmental factors, and without proper care, it can develop into a much harder problem to treat in the future.

Understanding the True Cause of Hair Loss

Abnormal hair shedding typically stems from weak hair roots and a scalp that has lost its natural balance. When collagen around the hair roots becomes rigid and loses elasticity, it reduces the hair's grip on the scalp, making strands fall out more easily than normal. Sustainable solutions therefore shouldn't focus only on treating the hair ends, but rather on restoring and strengthening the hair root structure.

Innovative Hair Care from Vichy Dercos

Choosing products with proven research backing is essential to address these concerns from the root. The Vichy Dercos anti-hair loss shampoo in red formula is recommended—it features innovation specifically designed for weak scalps. Its key active ingredients include:

Aminexil: A patented molecule that has undergone extensive research to strengthen hair roots and resist collagen hardening around the hair root area.

Strengthened Anchoring: Acts as a protective shield that extends hair lifespan, improves hair grip on the scalp, and addresses the problem precisely.

Targeted Deep Nourishment: Restores scalp balance, creates an ideal environment, and promotes the growth of healthy new hair.

All Vichy products undergo rigorous clinical testing overseen by dermatology and scalp care experts, ensuring real, visible results while remaining gentle and irritant-free. For those seeking to restore confidence and hair health with clearer and faster results, it's recommended to use this cleansing product alongside a root nourishing serum from the same line for comprehensive and optimal care.

Pe Arak from What The Duck returns as an artist with the single "Same No. (Same Number)," another track from his album "Broken Hearted, Addicted, Dog Dies."
