Nongyai, Chonburi-
The body of a missing Thai man was found floating in a lagoon in the Nongyai sub-district of Chonburi yesterday.
The Nongyai Police was notified of the incident at 1:30 PM yesterday afternoon. Police, rescue workers and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find a male body who was identified as Mr. Somkuan Katamart, 61.
The man was reported as a missing person since Sunday, October 11th. Police believed that the man died at least four days before his body was recovered.
Mr. Roon Tamtia, age not given, who first found the body, told police that he was working in a palm plantation near the lagoon.
He smelled something rotten and a dog was barking nearby. Upon further investigation he realized that the source of the smell was a deceased male.
Mr. Somkuan’s wife told police that the lagoon is two kilometers far from their home. She and her family went to a temple in a nearby province for several days. Mr. Somkuan stayed at home alone.
She was back home on Sunday, October 11th and found that Mr. Somkuan had disappeared.
Police continue to investigate the incident to determine why Mr. Somkuan had been at the lake and what circumstances led to his death. His body will be given an autopsy at a local morgue.
