CHACHOENGSAO — Villagers heading for rice porridge were shocked to find a man lying face down on a footpath in Na Mueang subdistrict, Mueang Chachoengsao district, with blood flowing from his mouth and ears. Pol. Lt. Suphawat Manaschai, investigator at Mueang Chachoengsao Provincial Police Station, received the report at 11:00 on November 11 and coordinated with rescuers from Phutthasothon Hospital.

At the scene, the deceased was a 57-year-old man wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt, black trousers, canvas shoes, and carrying a black leather bag. Inside the bag were only his national ID card, a box cutter, wire cutters, a voltage tester screwdriver, and two foreign banknotes. No other documents were found.

Witnesses said they had just gotten out of a vehicle to walk to a nearby rice porridge shop when they saw the man lying face down. Assuming he had fainted, they alerted police and municipal rescuers, only to learn he had already died.

Forensic staff from Phutthasothon Hospital took the body for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Pol. Lt. Suphawat said preliminary examination found no signs of foul play.
