‘Cadet died due to health reasons’

When a young reasonably fit 
person suddenly dies while exercising it’s often caused by 
undiagnosed hypertrophic 
cardiomyopathy.
You don’t know you have it until you drop dead.

Hazing or sprogging or whatever is bad for your health and this looks like it is just another use of the big carpet.

Testing the correct internal organs will only give them a little comfort – loss of their son, that pain is forever, Surely it is time for these deaths to stop, and abuse in the military sure does not make men or ladies better soldiers on the battle field. Get out of the 18th century mentality

“Died due to health issues”. Remarkable. Died due to death I suppose...
Some years ago I saw an article (in the other place as I recall), in which the reason was sought for a very high percentage of “causes of death” written on death 
certificates by Thai doctors was “heart failure”.
The guy being interviewed (who was himself a doctor as I recall), said it was because many doctors didn’t really look for a cause of death, but wrote down “heart failure”, because ultimately, all deaths are caused by the heart stopping. I kid you not.
Welcome to Thailand.

I thought the whole army were generals except for cadets AKA punchbags.

“The second autopsy found both collarbones broken, a fractured fourth rib and internal bruising on the right side of his abdomen.” (ABC news, Australia)
Thai PBS wrote: “The victim bore bruises all over the body with four broken rib bones which were not caused during medical treatment or caused by a fall from a stairway.
The BBC: “What the doctors found were severe bruise marks, several broken ribs and broken collarbones – and the brain, heart, stomach and bladder had been removed from the body."
The Nation failed to mention the results of the second autopsy.

The Army should stop insisting that it can impartially investigate the tragic death of cadet Phakapong “Moei” Tanyakan on campus, for “The louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted our spoons” (Emerson).
The Army has been surreptitious about this death from the start, including concealing from his parents that it had removed many vital organs before handing over the corpse – and the family’s own, secret autopsy disclosed that this apparently healthy youth had suffered four broken ribs.
Thai Army conscripts have evidently been brutally assaulted during training before, eg, Pvt Noppadol Worakitpan, whose heart and spleen had been fractured, with a bleeding chest and lungs, apparently after being crushed. He died after returning from barracks this past August – yet, the Army claimed that its “careful and thorough investigation” showed that no assault had occurred.
As the Thai police are fond of telling suspects, “If you’re innocent as claimed, you should have nothing to hide, and cooperate fully with us.” In this case, the Army’s the suspect.
If he is to help restore our trust, the Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit should bend over backwards and not only allow but insist that an independent and credible commission investigate this tragedy.
