The man’s wife, Suwimon Taothipphumirak, was the first to find him. It was she who notified the police, revealing Wuttichai’s underlying health struggles with Hepatitis B. It is suspected that this chronic condition may have contributed to her husband’s untimely demise.

Phuket News reported that a forensic doctor from Vachira Phuket Hospital was promptly called to the scene to perform an initial assessment. Thankfully, there were no signs of a struggle or foul play, suggesting a natural cause of death.
