Chon Buri: Woman and cat found dead in car in suspected suicide
A 34 year old woman and her pet cat were found dead in a car near a village in Chon Buri after going missing for four days. The discovery was made yesterday, January 7, when a deputy inspector from Bo Win District Police Station was notified of a death in a black Toyota car parked in a secluded area.
The car’s doors were locked, and inside lay the body of the woman wrapped in a blanket, with a charcoal stove beside her and the body of a black cat in a basket. Police coordinated with a locksmith to open the vehicle.
Relatives identified the deceased as 34 year old Preechaya, who had been missing since the morning of January 4. Her 26 year old nephew found a note in her home, indicating her final wishes.
“No explanations. This is my choice. Cremate without a ceremony at Wat Noen Krabok. Thank you. Feel free to take anything for debts. Let the car be repossessed.”
The family reported Preechaya missing to Bo Win District Police Station and circulated a photo of the car online, leading to its discovery.
Forensic specialists examined the scene and found no signs of foul play. Initial investigations revealed that Preechaya suffered from depression and was deeply affected by the death of her pet dog, which she had cared for over eight to nine years, on January 1. This prompted her to leave home on January 4.
The police have tasked Si Racha rescue services with transporting the body to the forensic institute at the Police General Hospital for an autopsy to determine the cause of death, reported KhaoSod.
