Bangkok police chief Pol Maj Gen Khamronwit Thoopkrajang said yesterday that Saturday’s fire at the Grand Tower Inn on Rama VI road might have been caused by a hotel employee’s suicide attempt.
While investigating the fire, police found a suicide note belonging to 45-year-old Pongsakorn Boon-aram, an employee at the hotel, who is now the primary suspect in the blaze.
The Nation reports that Pongsakorn died in the fire, which ravaged the eight-storey structure. Eleven guests were hospitalized with smoke inhalation.
