YouTuber Grieves After Friend Found Dead in Chao Phraya River
YouTuber Yuan DragonFive discovered his friend Tae DragonFive dead in the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok after Tae went missing on August 6; the body was found weighed down with concrete blocks and bricks.
YouTuber Yuan DragonFive expressed deep sadness after seeing the body of his friend Tae DragonFive, revealing they had spoken recently when Tae was having problems, and Yuan had promised to help him fully. The body of 46-year-old Detiwech Detpan, known as Tae DragonFive, was found in the Chao Phraya River beneath Rama VII Bridge in Nonthaburi province on August 7, 2569, after he left his house at 4 a.m. on August 6 with his bicycle and went missing.
At 4:30 p.m. on August 7, 2569, Yuan DragonFive arrived at the Mueang Nonthaburi Police Station to view his friend's body for the last time, visibly grief-stricken. Yuan shared that in the days before his friend's death, he had called Tae and learned he was facing difficulties. Yuan had told him not to worry and that they would help each other fully. That night, Yuan said he woke up startled in the middle of the night.
When Yuan learned from rescue workers that heavy concrete blocks and bricks weighing significant amounts had been placed in a backpack attached to the body, he was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief. Tae's mother told reporters briefly before leaving that she had not slept that night, staring at the front door throughout, hoping her son would return home.
