The body of Chutinan Chaowicharat, 31, was found by her mother, who alerted relatives and police.
Chutinan’s brother told police that she lived with two aunts who had left for a trip abroad, leaving her alone in the house.
The mother, who lives elsewhere, arrived for a morning visit only to find the body hanging from the crossbar of the bench.
The brother said Chutinan had been suffering depression that had worsened after a car accident two days ago.
Police found no trace of a struggle at the scene.
The body was sent for an autopsy at the provincial hospital.
