Mysterious phone call precedes suicide tragedy in central Thailand

A mysterious phone call preceded an unexpected tragedy in the home of a 37 year old woman, known as Phon (pseudonym), in Lat Lum Kaeo, Pathum Thani. After receiving the phone call during dinner, she told her husband, Sant (pseudonym), to continue eating as she needed to use the bathroom. An hour later, Sant found Phon lifeless in the bathroom.

This unsettling mysterious phone call incident took place today and was reported to Police Captain Visanu Prasertsom, an inquest official at Lat Lum Kaeo Police Station. After the notification, he, along with the Lat Lum Kaeo hospital doctor and local rescue volunteers, hurried to the scene.

Upon entering the bathroom, they found the lifeless body of Phon, who appeared to have died by committing suicide. For evidence, photographs were taken by the police and medical personnel.

The body was then transported by the rescue volunteers to the Justice Ministry’s Forensic Science Department for a thorough investigation into the cause of death.

Sant shared his account of the evening’s shocking turn of events. He and Phon were about to eat dinner when a phone call came in. After the call, Phon placed the phone on the dining table and descended the stairs.

She then returned to tell Sant to continue eating, explaining that she needed to use the bathroom. After one and a half hours of her absence, a worried Sant decided to check on her, only to discover his wife was dead. Furthermore, he found a letter expressing work-related stress, reported KhaoSod.

Police are busy investigating the reasons why Phon took her own life and the mysterious phone call prior to her death.
