Two Found Dead In Car; Police Investigate Circumstances
Two people were found dead inside a running sedan in a Bangkok alley on July 4, with authorities investigating whether death resulted from gas inhalation or other substances pending forensic examination.
At 12:30 p.m. on July 4, 2569, police in Bang Sao Thong precinct received a report of two bodies inside a sedan in Soi Bang Waek 15, Phasi Charoen district, Bangkok. Officers and forensic pathologists from Siriraj Hospital rushed to the scene and discovered a bronze-gray sedan parked in the alley. Inside, they found a 45-year-old man wearing a condom with foam around his mouth, and a 27-year-old woman in a similar condition on the passenger seat. A gas station receipt from 12:18 a.m. on July 4 was also found, along with condom wrappers and hormone supplement bottles that were collected as evidence.
Initial investigation revealed the car had been running with the engine on from approximately 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on July 4, 2569. Forensic pathologists have not yet determined whether death resulted from gas inhalation or other substances, pending further examination.
Neighbors reported hearing a bronze-gray sedan arrive around 2:00 a.m. At approximately 3:00 a.m., a resident attempted to move a parked car nearby and knocked on the sedan's window but received no response. The vehicle's engine had shut off by 5:00 a.m., and no one emerged. A volunteer responder named Komsanchai Chinsmutr said he used a metal tool to pry open the locked car and found the bodies in a reclined position with the engine on and air conditioning running.
The deceased woman's younger brother revealed they had eaten sukiyaki together the previous day for her birthday. She left home around midnight, saying someone would pick her up. He could not reach her after that and discovered her death when neighbors mentioned finding bodies in the alley that morning.
The brother described his sister as a swimming suit saleswoman who had recently moved from Nong Khai to Bangkok. He noted she had been in contact with various people recently but he did not inquire into her personal matters.
