Dwarf man crushed to death by roadside bench
A dwarf man was found dead, crushed by a wooden bench at a deserted taxi motorcycle stand in Bangkok’s Bang Plad district early on Friday.
Police said the 80-centimetre-tall man was found lying face-up with a wooden bench on his chest at an unused motorcycle taxi stand in front of P Chemical Equipment Co Ltd on Sirinthorn Road.
The bench was about 50cm tall and about 200cm long. It weighed about 50kgs.
The man had no ID card when found and police had not yet identified him. Police found Bt443 cash on him.
Thanom Sukcharoen, 67, a security officer of Suzuki showroom nearby, said he spotted the man walking around at 3am. Thanom said he asked the dwarf man where he was going and the man replied that he was going to Bangkok. A few hours later, the dwarf man was found dead at the same spot.
