This morning, a 35-year-old Burmese painter was found dead in a two-story house on Soi Borommaratchonnani 68 in the Taweewattana district. 

According to Dailynews, the deceased, later identified as Lu A-loy, accidentally cut his face with a four-inch-wide grinding disc. Upon arriving at the house, police found Lu lying in a pool of blood next to a still-active grinder.

Kayan Wangkeeri, a 45-year-old Thai man and Lu’s co-worker, told police that Lu just moved to the house yesterday to prepare for his first day of work.

Lu’s body will be sent to Siriraj Hospital for a thorough forensic examination, Dailynews reports.
