Ms Chingchok (transliterated from Thai), the deceased’s daughter, said she closely monitored her mother’s water intake and bathing, as it had been especially hot that day.
Her mum had previously complained about the unbearable weather, saying that she “can’t stand it anymore”.

Their home lacked air conditioning, and Ms Chingchok only had fans to help with her mother’s situation.
However, upon checking on her mum, Ms Chingchok realised that she was motionless and dead.
The family does not suspect foul play and is preparing for the deceased’s cremation on 8 April.
