At Prakhon Chai Hospital, the 55 year old father of the deceased, Samian, and other family members mourned their loss. Samian explained that his son studied at a technical college in Buriram province and eventually got engaged to a girlfriend in Surin province. On May 28, the couple held their engagement ceremony without setting a wedding date yet, as plans for further education or employment were still being considered.

It was speculated that Chanaweer drove back from Surin late at night, intending to reach home by morning but met with a tragic car accident before getting there, reported Sanook.
