Overview
- Thaweesak Namwongsa, a 44-year-old father in Rayong’s Ban Chang district, stopped eating and consumed only beer for roughly one month after his divorce.
- His 16-year-old son found him unconscious on his bedroom floor suffering a seizure and immediately called rescue workers.
- Paramedics from the Siam Rayong Foundation arrived to find over 100 empty beer bottles neatly arranged on the floor and were unable to revive him.
- Authorities believe the chronic alcohol intake likely led to severe nutritional deficiencies and triggered the fatal seizure.
- The forthcoming autopsy is expected to confirm the precise cause of death and has sparked broader concern over mental health support and extreme drinking behaviors.
