Man Found Dead with Head Wounds in Chonburi Home
An unresponsive cassava farmer was discovered with head wounds at a relative’s pavilion in Sri Racha, Chonburi, on October 2, 2026. His family, concerned about the circumstances, requested an autopsy to determine whether the injuries resulted from a drunken fall or possible foul play. Police are awaiting forensic results while noting no evidence of a struggle at the scene.
On October 2, 2026, the Sri Racha rescue center received a report of a death at a house in Moo 1, Nong Kham sub‑district, Sri Racha district, Chonburi province. Police Lieutenant Thanaphan Khambung, local municipal council member Winai Kulachliang, village head Theodthai Nakasuk, and uniformed officers from Nong Kham police station were dispatched to the scene. They found the body of Mr. Songkran (surname withheld), a 55‑year‑old cassava farmer, lying face‑up in only a pair of shorts beside a pavilion next to a pond. He had a roughly one‑inch laceration on his left eyebrow and a similar wound on the left rear of his skull. The house belongs to relatives whom he visited regularly to tend his cassava field in the area. Relatives said he frequently drank to excess, becoming loud and abusive, but nobody held a grudge against him. His sister‑in‑law, Sa‑ladda, aged 43, said the family was unsure how he died and requested an autopsy; she did not see him leave the house or discover where he fell. Police investigators noted no signs of a struggle and surmised he may have fallen while intoxicated, striking his head on a concrete table or chair, but they have not ruled out assault and have sent the body to the Institute of Forensic Science for a definitive cause of death.
