A DAD has died surrounded by over a hundred empty beer bottles after he only drank booze for an entire month.
Thaweesak Namwongsa, 44, reportedly suffered a seizure and tragically passed away before paramedics could save him.
Namwongsa was discovered by his 16-year-old son who lived with him after his parents divorced.
The teen revealed his dad had shunned food and was only drinking only beer in the month before his death.
He told police he had tried to cook hot meals for his father every day, but he simply refused to eat anything.
Then one day when the teenager came home from school he found Namwongsa unconscious after suffering a seizure.
Emergency responders from the Siam Rayong Foundation were dispatched to a residence in the Ban Chang district of Rayong, Thailand, but unfortunately, by the time they reached the location, the father had already passed away.
Paramedics recalled finding over 100 empty beer bottles neatly arranged on the bedroom floor.
A narrow path had been laid out between them to allow the man to get in and out of his bed.
His son said the man started to drink heavily after becoming divorced.
It is suspected that this emotional strain could have led him to replace food with beer.
Namwongsa’s cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
An autopsy is set to be performed on the body later this week.
Officials do believe the excessive alcohol consumption is likely to have contributed.
This incident follows reports of at least six fatalities and numerous others struggling for survival after consuming ‘rotgut’ alcohol mixed with harmful chemicals in Bangkok. More details can be found in this article.
The victims allegedly bought the moonshine spiked with methanol and isopropanol from street stalls.
Soon after, they began suffering dizziness, breathing difficulties, and vomiting – telltale symptoms of alcohol poisoning.
