The Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) will perform an autopsy on Monday to find the cause of death of Ukraine ambassador to Thailand, Andrii Beshta.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Thani Saengrat said that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had instructed related authorities to take utmost care in the matter.
"CIFS director Pol Colonel Songsak Raksaksakul would personally oversee the autopsy," he said.
