Tha Sala police responded to a distress call at 6:50 AM after the man’s Thai wife, identified as Ms. Sukanya, found her husband’s lifeless body on their bedroom floor. Medical examiners from Tha Sala Hospital conducted an initial assessment, estimating the time of death occurred between 8 to 12 hours prior to discovery – placing the tragic event sometime during the previous evening.

Preliminary examinations revealed no visible injuries or indications of physical assault on the body. Investigators confirmed the property showed no evidence of forced entry or theft, with personal belongings undisturbed. The deceased, known only as Mr. G.R. pending family notification, was reportedly a long-term resident of the quiet Tha Khun Subdistrict community.

During police questioning, the grieving widow disclosed her husband’s history of heavy alcohol consumption. She last saw him alive the previous evening before retiring to bed, only to make the grim discovery the following morning. Authorities have collected liquor bottles from the residence as potential evidence while awaiting formal autopsy results.

The body has been transferred to Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital for a comprehensive autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Police have indicated the case remains open pending toxicology reports, though initial evidence suggests natural causes potentially related to chronic health issues exacerbated by alcohol use.
