A fisherman in Prachuap Khiri Khan received the shock of his life when he discovered an unidentified male corpse floating face-down and bloated beneath a bridge over the Bang Pakong River in Kabinburi Sub-district, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Police investigator Hasaworn Panjamhat and hospital emergency staff rushed to the scene and recovered the body. The deceased was a man estimated to be 35–40 years old, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and appears to have been dead for at least two days. The body bore tattoos and showed mysterious bruising across the body, especially under the chin, which preliminary medical examination could not immediately explain. No identification documents were found on the body. Witness Kittisak Sribuppha, who discovered the corpse while fishing with friends, described his shock when he spotted the body drifting toward them after a passing boat drew near the bridge pier. Police have ordered rescue personnel to conduct a detailed autopsy to determine the true cause of death—whether accidental drowning or something else—and to identify the victim and contact relatives.
