On July 3, 2025, police in Kok Samrong district, Lopburi province, received a report of a death inside a sedan parked near a water reservoir in Huay Pong. Officers arrived with forensic technicians, on-duty doctors, and rescue personnel to investigate. The car was positioned facing the reservoir with a woman's body on the driver's seat and a dog beside her. Both were deceased. Inside the vehicle, police found six farewell letters and an urn containing the remains of the woman's deceased mother on the back seat. Preliminary examination revealed no signs of violence, and authorities suspect death by asphyxiation. The body was taken to Kok Samrong Hospital for autopsy.
Local residents reported the vehicle had been parked at the reservoir since the evening of July 2, 2025. On the morning of July 3, a local villager who came to graze cattle noticed the car still in the same position and became suspicious.

Relatives who arrived at the scene identified the deceased as a 47-year-old schoolteacher with a medical history of depression and multiple previous suicide attempts. The six farewell letters corresponded with her mental health struggles. Family members expressed no suspicions regarding the death. Police documented the scene, interviewed witnesses, and collected evidence. The body was sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for a formal autopsy to determine the precise cause of death.
