Former monk dies in Chiang Mai

Former monk Nikorn died of haemorrhaging in the brain late on Thursday night at the age of 61 at Chiang Mai's Nakhon Ping Hospital.

The former monk, known as Thammarat Yoskhamju, suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital September 7.
He used to be the abbot of Sangpong Temple in Phrao district and he was a very popular preacher. Later, he was found guilty by the Sangha Supreme Council of having sexual relationship with a woman follower, so he was defrocked.
