Woman Discovers Friend Dead After Three Days

A 44-year-old Russian man was found dead in his Kathu, Phuket apartment after a Thai friend discovered him following three days of no contact; police suspect suicide based on preliminary findings.

4d ago Khaosod

A woman was shocked to discover her friend dead after being unable to reach him for three days. She went to his apartment room, knocked repeatedly with no answer, then looked through the gap at the bottom of the door and saw a disturbing sight—a lifeless body. She immediately called police.

On June 30, 2569, Lieutenant Wattanarot Bamrungthim, investigator at Kathu Police Station, revealed that at 7:10 p.m. on June 29, officers received a report of a death inside an apartment room in Kathu District, Phuket. They rushed to investigate along with Captain Chalemsai Heuangsawat, Kathu Police Station commander, a medical examiner from Vachira Phuket Hospital, and Phuket charity volunteers.

Inside the room, they found the body of Constantine, a 44-year-old Russian national, with apparent signs of suicide. Based on preliminary autopsy examination, it is estimated he had been dead for approximately two days. Investigators found no signs of struggle or disturbance inside the room, and all of the deceased's belongings remained intact.

During questioning, Ms. A (a pseudonym), 22, a Thai friend of the deceased and the first person to discover the body, stated that she had been unable to contact the deceased for three days. She decided to visit his room and knocked several times, but received no response. She then looked through the gap beneath the door and saw the deceased, unclothed and motionless, sitting with his back against the bathroom door. She broke down the door to investigate and discovered what had occurred inside the room, immediately alerting police.

Medical examiners initially determined that the deceased had been dead for approximately two days. According to information from the friend, the deceased had a history of depression and lived alone. Authorities arranged for the body to be sent to Vachira Phuket Hospital for detailed autopsy examination and contacted the Russian Embassy to inform relatives so they could claim the body for religious rites and proceed with legal procedures.

Nagelsmann Defies Pressure After Germany's World Cup Exit

Germany's coach Julian Nagelsmann refused to resign after the team's shock penalty loss to Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32, insisting he remains committed to leading the national team forward.

4d ago Khaosod

Coach Julian Nagelsmann of the German national team has refused to step down despite leading the "Iron Eagle" to a disappointing exit at the Round of 32 stage of the 2026 World Cup. Germany, one of the tournament favorites, ended its campaign in the Round of 32 after losing 4-3 on penalties to Paraguay following a 1-1 draw in regular and extra time on June 29.

After the match, Nagelsmann addressed his future, saying: "I'm not someone who runs away. I'm always ready if the German national team wants me. If they want me to stay until 2028, I will." He added: "If they don't want me, they need to tell me directly. I want to continue. In football, you can't control everything."

Kai Havertz, who missed a penalty, commented: "During a match, you have to give full effort. I don't think we played poorly—I think we played well. But there's always something missing, and I felt that today too. Now, especially as players, we need to look at ourselves and what we can do better, because we're all professional footballers."

Ancelotti Explains Why Neymar Didn't Play Against Japan

Brazil's Carlo Ancelotti benched Neymar during a 2-1 World Cup knockout win over Japan, keeping the star forward available for potential extra time while the team controlled the match.

4d ago Khaosod

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti explained why he kept star forward Neymar on the bench during their 2-1 victory over Japan in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 knockout stage. Though Neymar was seen warming up repeatedly on the sideline throughout the match, he never took to the field.

After the game, Ancelotti addressed the decision, saying: "We were holding Neymar for extra time. I told him he might get on around the 60th or 65th minute, but we scored an equalizing goal and I didn't want to change our structure because the team was controlling the match."

He added: "We have multiple options both on the bench and on the field. Japan is not an easy team—they're well-organized and very intense. The truth is we deserved to win, and that's what matters most."
