Missing father found dead in water container in Nakhon Ratchasima

A missing father was found dead in a water container behind his house in Nakhon Ratchasima. The discovery prompted a rapid response from the police and left the family and community in deep sorrow.

Police Colonel Lieutenant Boonyarith of Huai Thalaeng Police Station reported that police received a call about a person found dead in a water container at their own home in the Non Sanga community, Hin Dat subdistrict, Huai Thalaeng district, Nakhon Ratchasima province. The incident was reported yesterday, August 15, leading officers, including Police Lieutenant Anon Luangchat, and rescue teams from Hook 31 Hin Dat to rush to the scene.

Upon arrival, villagers were gathered around the water jar where the deceased, identified as 57 year old Prasit, was found. Rescue personnel retrieved the body from the jar and examined it, finding no signs of foul play. The discovery was deeply distressing for Prasit’s family, especially his son, 38 year old Chanarong, who had been frantically searching for his missing father.

Chanarong recounted his harrowing experience, explaining that his father, a former deputy chairman of the Hin Dat Subdistrict Municipality Council, had vanished from their home early in the morning.

“I was not at home when it happened. My mother told me that my father had been missing since morning. We called out for him, but there was no response.”

Upon returning home, Chanarong began searching for his father and noticed his shoes placed beside the large water jar behind their house. Peering into the jar, he was horrified to find his father’s lifeless body floating inside.

“I was shocked and heartbroken. I immediately informed neighbours and called the police and rescue team for help.”

The atmosphere at the family home in the Non Sanga community was filled with sorrow as relatives gathered for the funeral rites. The deceased’s wife, 55 year old Rabiab, was too grief-stricken to provide details but expressed no suspicion over her husband’s death.

The family is preparing for the cremation ceremony, scheduled to take place on August 19 at Wat Hin Dat crematorium in the Hin Dat subdistrict, reported KhaoSod.

“I was shocked and heartbroken. I immediately informed neighbours and called the police and rescue team for help. We called out for him, but there was no response.”
