A drunken man was reportedly drowned to his death in a rain puddle after he became unconscious when the rainwater level started to rise.
The body of Anusorn was found at a marble table inside the compound of a school in Samut Prakarn Province. His body was seated on the stool but his head had drooped down to the ground, which was 20-30 centimeters deep with rainwater.
A witness told police the dead man was a construction worker in the nearby area. He was spotted drinking at the table alone the night before. It had been raining heavily last night, the witness said, and she only found the dead body of Anusorn later in the day.
Police believe Anusorn was so intoxicated that he fell asleep with his head to the ground, and he was still unconscious when it started to rain heavily, flooding the ground around him, which caused him to drown.
Police have sent his body to be examined to establish the clear cause of death, Khaosod reported.
Khaosod’s website has a picture of the incident.
