Police are investigating the death of a Chinese man whose body was found hanging near a railway track in Chon Buri, with three handwritten suicide notes. His wounds and bruises are consistent with an assault and possible use of a stun gun.
A construction contractor, 41 year old Ekkapoj Nundee, found the body while working near the Khao Talo railway track. Ekkapoj said he was assigned to spray water on a nearby road to reduce dust from renovation work. After finishing and preparing to leave, he noticed the body.
He said he was shocked and took time to compose himself before calling Bang Lamung Police Station to report the discovery.
Police said the deceased appeared to be a Chinese man aged between 30 and 40. His body was hanging from a steel beam under a roof covering a hotel’s motorcycle parking area next to the railway track.
He was wearing a dark blue T-shirt, elephant-pattern trousers and white trainers. Police estimated he died between six and 12 hours before he was found.
Officers said no identification documents were found on the man. Three letters written in Chinese were found in his trouser pocket and were described as suicide notes. ThaiRath reported the letters stated…
“To my family, I’m sorry. Please contact Chinese embassy and parents for me. Please bring me home.”
During an initial examination, police said the man had multiple wounds and bruises. His face was swollen and there were numerous black marks on his legs that were believed to be caused by a stun gun. Burn marks were also found on his back. Forensic staff believed the injuries occurred two to three days before the man’s death.
Police said the death has not been confirmed as a suicide. Investigators plan to question people in the area and review security camera footage to establish the man’s identity and determine the cause of death.
The body was sent to Police General Hospital in Bangkok for a full autopsy.
