Retired Air Force Officer Found Dead in Car with Pets
A 68-year-old retired air force officer was found dead in her car at a Pathum Thani market parking lot on July 27, with her two pets beside her; authorities suspect she had been deceased for two to three days.
Police and medical personnel from Khu Khot Station in Pathum Thani responded to a report of a death inside a vehicle at a busy market parking lot on July 27, 2025. Upon arrival, officers found a bronze sedan with the body of a 68-year-old former female air force officer in the driver's seat, which had been reclined flat. She was wearing a crew-neck t-shirt and cream-colored shorts. A deceased poodle was found cradled against her chest, and a dead Persian cat was discovered in a pet carrier on the back seat. A portable stove was also present in the vehicle. The preliminary medical assessment indicated she had been dead for two to three days.
A motorcycle taxi driver in the area reported that an anxious relative had approached him asking for help after finding someone dead in a car, prompting the police call. The victim's family explained that she had left home on July 25 around 4 p.m., saying she would take her pets to a veterinarian. She had a history of depression, thyroid problems, and had recently been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, which may have caused her stress. Security camera footage revealed the vehicle arrived at the parking lot around late afternoon on July 26, and no one was seen exiting the car. Police have documented the scene as evidence and are reviewing surveillance recordings. The deceased has been transferred to Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital for autopsy to determine the precise cause of death.
