Man Found Dead in Car After Morning Drinking Session
A 51-year-old man was found dead in a parked car near Doi Saket District Office in Chiang Mai after a morning drinking session with a friend; police await autopsy results to determine the cause of death.
Two friends had been drinking alcohol since morning before parting ways. One was later found dead mysteriously inside a car near the Doi Saket District Office in Chiang Mai. At approximately 5 p.m. on August 6, police from Doi Saket Station, along with doctors from Doi Saket Hospital and rescue personnel, investigated after receiving a report of a death inside a vehicle.
Inside the car, officers discovered the body of 51-year-old Somsak (surname withheld) lying on the back seat. There were no visible signs of violence or injury. Preliminary questioning of the friend who was with him revealed that both men had been drinking since early morning. They had driven back to the location, parked the car, and left Somsak to rest inside before separating. When someone later found Somsak unresponsive, they immediately notified authorities.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Supchai Janthara, commander of Doi Saket Police Station, disclosed that officers thoroughly investigated the scene and gathered evidence while coordinating with a medical examiner to determine the actual cause of death. However, a conclusion cannot yet be drawn and officials are awaiting formal autopsy results. Currently, investigators are examining all aspects of the case, including the condition inside the vehicle, how long the deceased remained in the car, and various environmental factors to ensure the cause of death is determined according to factual evidence and forensic principles.
