A strong stench of decomposition led to a horrifying discovery in a reed thicket near a residential village on July 23, 2569, at 9:00 a.m. Police Lieutenant Sawasdi Khongkaew of the Pra Tuu Nam Chulalongkorn Station responded to reports of a body found in the reeds within a soi in Prachatipat Subdistrict, Thanyaburi District, Pathum Thani Province, accompanied by investigators and medical personnel.

The body was found face-down in a reed and grass-covered area approximately 20 meters from the village fence, in an advanced state of decomposition. The deceased was a man aged 40-50 wearing only black shorts, with the tattoo "madman" on his left wrist and visible bite marks from scavengers. No identification documents or personal belongings were found on the body, only a pair of black flip-flops discarded nearby. There were no signs of traumatic injury, and it is believed the man had been dead for 2-3 days.

According to the village security chief, a resident had reported a strong smell of decay, leading to the discovery. An air-conditioning technician had spotted the man acting erratically entering the reed area on July 21, but did not immediately report it. Another resident, Napa, 36, recalled seeing a vagrant-like man on July 20 removing his clothes and shoes near the reed thicket. The deceased was unknown to villagers. Police conducted a preliminary autopsy and collected evidence before transferring the body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Thammasat University Hospital for autopsy and identification of relatives.
