KRABI: Police have not ruled out foul play in the death of an unidentified man who was found dead in Krabi yesterday.
Police found the shirtless body of the man lying on the ground, clutching kratom leaves in his hand, near an empty bungalow in Khlong Thom.
“We believe the man received a fatal electric shock, as about two meters away from his body was a kratom tree with electric wires around it,” said Capt Methee Thongkham of the Khlong Thom Police. “However, we can’t see what the source of the electricity was. We believe someone may have removed it after finding the man dead.”
Police believe the deceased to be between 25-30 years old.
“We found no identification on the body and no one in the area seemed to know who he was,” said Capt Methee.
The body was taken to Khlong Thom Hospital to verify the cause of death, as police continue with the investigation.
