However, his youngest son and mayor of Chon Buri’s Saensuk Municipality, Narongchai, denied this and insisted Somchai, who was arrested last month after fleeing a murder conviction, still had an irregular heartbeat.
Hospital director Assada Teeyapan said Somchai’s blood pressure was 100-130/40-60 mmHg with a heart rate of 90-110 beats per minute and an irregular beat sometimes.
