Chonburi, at 7:00 AM on March 29th, 2025 — rescue workers in Sriracha, Chonburi, responded to a report of a man found dead in a canal behind a worker camp.
The victim, publicly identified as 43-year-old Cambodian national Waed Bo, was discovered lying face-up in the shallow water with fishing shock equipment beside him.
Officials cut off the electric current before retrieving the body. A battery connected to electric wires was found at the scene, believed to have been used for electrofishing.
A friend of the victim, Tin, said coworkers had been searching for the victim after he went missing. They eventually found him lifeless in the canal, likely electrocuted after accidentally touching the live wires.
Authorities documented the scene and sent the body to Laem Chabang Hospital for further examination.
